I have completed training and am now a Pathfinder for cleftAdvocate. I am very excited and am looking forward to making a difference in the Colorado Springs community. Right now I am trying to set up meetings with Early Intervention and Tricare case mangers(our insurance company) to educate and provide materials to professionals that interact with parents of cleft effected children. I eventually hope to be able to meet with the nursing staff at all the major birthing hospitals - one step at a time though.
I'm very excited and proud to be a part of this important volunteer program!
