My name is Emily Egbert and my little brother was born with a foot deformity called clubfoot. At the time of his birth the only form of treatment was surgery which is extremely detrimental to the feet. So to me public health means promoting the a non-surgical casting form of treatment called the Ponseti method which slowly corrects the feet without any long-term negative effects.
