Manitoba Centre for Craniofacial Difference (MCCD)
The Manitoba Centre for Craniofacial Difference was established in 2003 by plastic surgeon, Dr. Lonny Ross to serve children born with facial diagnoses such as cleft palate, Synostosis, Pierre Robin sequence and Treacher-Collins Syndrome.
The Centre provides comprehensive, cradle-to-adulthood care from a range of health-care providers. In addition to Plastic surgeons, the MCCD team members include an orthodontist, oral maxilla-facial surgeon, pediatric dentist, dietician, lactation consultants, occupational therapist, physiotherapists, pediatric anesthetists, geneticist, opthamologist, child development specialists, audiologist, speech and language pathologist, prosthodontist, psychosocial professionals, as well as many support health professionals.
Heading up one of only five centres of its kind in Canada, the Manitoban team is accredited by the American Cleft Palate - Craniofacial Association. This accreditation is designed to ensure MCCD continues to operate at the highest professional level.
