Our Lake County Free Clinic Community Impact Project Team is looking for dental professionals to give the gift of time ⏰
Do you know a dental professional who could volunteer a few hours per month to provide basic oral care services to uninsured clients?🦷
This giving Tuesday, we’re asking dental professionals for the gift of TIME! Did you know that we rely on licensed dentists to volunteer their time—even a few hours a month— so that we can provide basic oral care services to the uninsured clients who come to our clinic? Currently, we have a dental rotation on most Tuesdays and Fridays, but our waiting list for basic patient dental care extends well into January! We are looking for a few more dentists to help us round out our calendar - if this is you and you can help contribute 4-8 hours a month it would be a huge help! Give us a call at 440-352-8686 and ask for Dana or Stephanie to get the conversation started. Thank you!
