Barry Steinberg
Alumni Award
MacArthurDr. Steinberg is a craniofacial surgeon who founded the Facing Futures Foundation in 1988. The Foundation's focus is the surgical correction of birth defects found in children from remote areas of the world. Because these areas do not have the medical facilities necessary to help the children who need them, the Foundation brings each child to Jacksonville, Florida, to allow proper conditions and assemble the best team of doctors needed for the case. In addition, the Facing Futures team of health practitioners travels to Vietnam on an annual basis. In that time, they have helped hundreds of children with virtually every type of facial disorder. In addition, dozens of Vietnamese surgeons have been trained in the latest procedures, enabling them to continue the Facing Futures mission. Since 1988, Dr. Steinberg has worked with a team of nurses, anesthesiologists, surgeons, anaplastologists and other professionals to provide free medical care to hundreds of children. Dr. Steinberg is a Professor and Director of the Craniofacial Surgery Fellowship of the University of Florida College of Medicine in Jacksonville Florida.
