(RICHMOND HILL, GA) May 2 2013 Board Certified Plastic Surgeon, Dr. Meghan McGovern presents a check for $1,200 to Thomas S. Inglesby, long serving Board member of the charity, Faith in Practice, which provides medical care to the poorest in Guatemala.

Dr. McGovern, from Coastal Empire Plastic Surgery, which has clinics at Frances Meeks Way in Richmond Hill and in Savannah, was inspired to seize the opportunity to raise money to help this charity in its life changing work when she recently ran educational seminars for local people who wanted to find out more about the latest plastic surgery methods and non-invasive techniques. People attending these free seminars were encouraged to make a donation to the charity ‘Faith in Practice’ and Dr. McGovern personally matched these donations.
