The Lifestyle Lift Code of Internet Conduct and Assurance
Recently, the Lifestyle Lift center of Fort Myers was presented with a cash prize for winning a competition. In the spirit of giving back, the center discussed many ways of how to best use the funds and the excitement built as the options were presented. But, on January 12, 2010, Haiti was hit with one of the most devastating earthquakes, ever. As the news rolled in about the tragedy, it seemed obvious what we had to do. The staff began to discuss how to help and contacted relief programs that would deliver the largest benefit to the Haitian people. Lifestyle Lift identified World Vision as the one organization that was already well-established in Haiti and that would not just match donations but triple them! So, with the generosity of Dr. Kent, founder of Lifestyle Lift and the executive team, our prize along with personal contributions were donated to World Vision who exponentially increased them to benefit those Haitians, most negatively impacted by this tragedy. Everyone at Lifestyle Lift is humbled by our success, but even more proud of the teamwork that contributed to the relief of those affected in Haiti. We would like to extend our gratitude for the opportunity our center had to help so many, and hope this inspires others to work together and witness the impact they can make in helping others. |

You’ve seen how Lifestyle Lift® doctors transform the lives of their clients, but consider how they transform the lives of children across the globe through their humanitarian efforts. Many of our doctors make medical mission trips to South America, Southeast Asia and Africa year after year.
For example, Dr. John R. Coleman Jr. of Atlanta will be taking his fifth trip with Kidejapa, an Atlanta-based non-profit organization that has arranged 11 surgical mission trips to help the children of Ecuador.
“All of the surgeries that I perform are related to craniofacial abnormalities … mostly cleft lip and cleft palate,” Coleman explains. “This year, we will be taking two surgical techs, two nurses, two anesthesiologists and a student on the trip.”
Typically, mission teams operate from 12 to 16 hours a day and must transport everything they’ll need with them – staff, supplies, instruments, bandages and even medications. All surgeries are provided free of charge to the patients, and, often, the teams pay for their own trips.
Still, these are mild hardships compared to the lives of their young patients, whose birth defects like cleft lip, cleft palate and any other abnormal facial features often mean blame and banishment.
Thanks to Coleman and his peers, however, these children’s extraordinary lives are transformed into what they always wanted: a normal life.
