Dr. Angelo Capozzi, Founder of Rotaplast International and a member of the Rotary Club of Tiburon-Belvedere, will speak about Rotoplast and its mission to help children and families worldwide by eliminating the burden of cleft lip and palate, burn scarring, and other deformities. Working with local professionals, Rotarians, and other organizations, Rotaplast sends multidisciplinary medical teams to provide free reconstructive surgery, ancillary treatment, and training for the comprehensive care of these children.
