While there are truly enjoyable aspects of aging, such as watching our children grow up, most of us do not appreciate the lines and wrinkles we acquire through the aging process.

Cleft palate is a very common birth defect in the United States, effecting one in every 800 births. Three to five babies are born every year at Cayuga Medical Center with cleft lip, cleft palate, and other facial deformities. Additional babies and children come to Tompkins County from the surrounding region for services, and a number of children with facial deformities move here each year with their families.

An estimated five or six more babies are born elsewhere in the region and another handful of young children with cleft abnormalities move to Tompkins County with their families.
