Fresh Start Surgical Gifts Informational Session
Sanford Children’s is teaming up with Fresh Start Surgical Gifts to transform the lives of children through the gift of reconstructive surgery.
Fresh Start Surgical Gifts is a nonprofit that offers reconstructive surgeries to qualifying children at no cost to families.
To be eligible, a patient must meet all three requirements:
- Be under 18 years old

If eligible, a patient must be screened virtually or in-person to ensure they are a good candidate for surgery.
