January Events:

 The Elder Dental Program is a free non-profit, community based program. The Elder Dental Program’s mission is to connect low-income seniors (age 60+) with local dentists who volunteer to participate by providing discounted dental care in their offices to elders. They refer those seniors who have been pre- screened meeting financial eligibility requirements. Dentist agree to abide by the Program’s reduced fee schedule which is a fraction of their usual fees, so patients pay an amount that is more affordable to them. The participating dentists are essentially donating their time and services in order to benefit seniors who are at the lowest income levels (under 250% of Federal Poverty Guidelines) and truly in need. The Dental hygienist from HopeHealth Community VNA will be providing an oral health presentation and information on the program on Monday, January 10th at 2pm. Please call the Center to reserve your spot.
