Meet George from Stevens Point

George has a huge imagination, loves music and brings joy to all around him. George was born with cleft lip and palate and an almost nonexistent jaw, which is attributed to Pierre Robin sequence, a condition that causes other oral health challenges, including difficulties with feeding and speaking. Because of George’s small stature and jaw, George needed providers who had the specialized tools and expertise to help meet his oral health needs. Children’s Wisconsin dental providers have performed surgery to cap several of George’s teeth and to complete the fillings he’s needed. With Medicaid insurance and his special needs, George’s family could not find a provider near their home who was able to provide the great quality of care that he has received at Children’s Wisconsin. Their family is grateful to Children’s Wisconsin for the care they received and for their coverage from the Medicaid program.

Please keep Medicaid strong for kids like George!
