The Anthony L. and Hideko S. Burgess Interactive Learning Center (ILC) offers an immersive experience at Operation Smile headquarters in Virginia Beach. The ILC was created to bring people closer to the organization’s work through the perspectives of nine friends — real Operation Smile patients who, despite many challenges and barriers, courageously took action and joined us in hopes of receiving surgery and other essential treatments at surgical programs and care centers around the world. If you've ever wondered what Operation Smile does or how they do it, please sign up for a quick interactive, educational tour of the ILC while you are visiting headquarters for the HRCGP meeting. Tours will be offered before the meeting at 3pm or immediately after the meeting.
Please contact Jodi Chaler at jodi.chaler@operationsmile.org or 757-500-8605 to register for a tour. Thank you!
