CCPF provides care for children with disabilities in China’s orphanages by providing exceptional multi-specialty medical treatment and hands-on training and medical education for their providers and caregivers. CCPF sends all-volunteer pediatric medical teams from the United States to China to perform surgeries on orphans to correct disfiguring birth defects and disabilities, and to share medical information, surgical techniques and hands-on training in rehabilitation with Chinese colleagues and orphanage caregivers.
Vincent’s recent Humanitarian Award follows recognition by non-for-profit organizations, Crutches 4 Kids and Alexandra’s Playground, who both separately honored him in 2016.
