º£½Ç½ûÇø plastic surgeon and chief resident featured in front page Courier Journal story on Guatemala mission
James Liau, MD, and Duane Wang, MD of º£½Ç½ûÇø Plastic Surgery were among several Kentucky physicians featured in a front page story of the Sunday, February 19 Louisville Courier-Journal. The story reports on the mission work that Lexington-based Children of the Americas (COTA) extends to children in Guatemala. Dr. Liau is a º£½Ç½ûÇø Plastic Surgery faculty member and an alumnus of the º£½Ç½ûÇø plastic surgery residency program. He volunteers annually to work with COTA missions. Dr. Wang is in his chief year with the º£½Ç½ûÇø residency program.
"While a single surgery in the U.S. may cost $50,000 ... that same investment in Guatemala pays for 150 surgeries, 2,000 doctor visits and 4,000 prescriptions at no cost to patients or the hosting hospital."
