A Window to the World: The Anthony L. & Hideko S. Burgess Interactive Learning Center

Step into the Anthony L. and Hideko S. Burgess Interactive Learning Center (ILC) at Operation Smile's Global Headquarters and experience an immersive journey in the footsteps of our patients, their families and our amazing volunteers who work together to bring healing and smiles to those who need it most.  

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, guests will better understand the challenges that patients and their families overcome on their paths toward brighter futures.
