Cleft Lip & Palate Clinic

A doctor, midwife, nurse practitioner, public health nurse or member of the Kelowna Cleft Lip & Palate Team can submit the Cleft Lip and Palate Referral Form electronically if they have internal Interior Health system access.

Providers who are external to Interior Health are invited to print off and fax the referral form to 250-868-7809. The electronic "submit" button may be used by providers within the Interior Health email network.

Several families attend each clinic, held in April and October. You should expect to spend the full morning at the clinic.

Each family will see each professional. Families, along with their family doctor/nurse practitioner and other health-care providers involved in their child’s cleft care, will also receive a printed summary of the recommendations following the clinic.

Please note: This Kelowna-based team works in partnership with the health-care providers already caring for your child in your own community. The team does not provide treatment at the clinic, and does not replace the professionals you are seeing for current medical treatment.
