Let’s Talk Smiles: An Interview with Dr. Meredith Workman

In this heartfelt and insightful conversation, Dr. Meredith Workman, a Pediatric Plastic Surgeon at CURE Zambia, shares her journey and the powerful work she leads at the hospital. Through the lens of her specialty—cleft lip and palate surgeries—Dr. Workman talks about the life-changing impact of reconstructive surgery for children born with correctable conditions. She highlights not only the physical transformation but the emotional healing and restored dignity that come with every smile repaired.

Dr. Workman’s compassion, skill, and deep belief in every child’s worth shine through as she explains how CURE provides care regardless of a family’s ability to pay—and why that matters so much in the lives of the children we serve.
