The ILC serves as a “window to the world,” allowing visitors to journey alongside our friends who are affected by cleft conditions as they seek the safe surgery and comprehensive care they need and deserve. With empathy and compassion at the heart of the exhibit, ILC guests will better understand the challenges that patients and their families overcome on their paths toward brighter futures. This immersive experience seeks to educate students, the community and visitors to Virginia Beach about culture, medicine, geography and leadership.
