The Power of Medicine
William Magee Jr, DDS, MD
Join William Magee Jr, DDS, MD, executive chairman
and cofounder of Operation Smile, as he shares his
journey through his organization’s history and his
inspiration to build a worldwide medical charity
committed to helping children all over the world.
Dr Magee is a leading plastic and craniofacial surgeon
who founded Operation Smile in 1982 with his
wife Kathy. Since its inception, Operation Smile has provided
more than 2 million patient evaluations and more than
200,000 free surgeries for children and young adults born
with cleft lips, cleft palates, and other facial deformities in
more than 60 countries. Dr Magee’s presentation will
illustrate the importance of “BHAGs” (big hairy audacious
goals) and tapping into the power of using your gifts. Through
the power of storytelling, Dr Magee will ask the audience,
“What is your story; who are you; where have you been; and
where are you going next?” He will explain why children are
the only language we all have in common and that this
language has the power to unite people and nations.
