Investing in Smiles

A capital campaign was launched to replace the mobile dental vans that visit schools around the region to provide oral health services. The goal of this campaign is to raise $1.5 million to replace the aging van fleet, so that students can continue to count on them to meet their needs.

Currently, one third of the children treated on the vans are not covered by health insurance. The remaining students qualify for free or reduced care, but do not receive regular exams. And 50% of children have never been to a dentist. Their needs are significant, and your support will ensure pediatric patients are given the care they need and deserve.

Your Investment Provides:

• Dental care for 40 schools across 6 counties in Lehigh, Northampton, Carbon, Schuylkill, Bucks and Monroe.
• Easy access to dental care for those without insurance or transportation.
• Immediate care and reduced wait times.
• A fully integrated electronic medical record (EMR) system on each unit to improve record keeping and vital follow-up care.

Our longstanding commitment to the health of our communities inspires us to invest in the care that enables our youngest citizens to engage in school, which is critical to scholastic success. We can do that with your support.

There are many ways to contribute to the campaign. You can provide a one-time gift or make a pledge that can be paid over several years. We also welcome gifts of securities or gifts that will mature in the future, such as life income gifts—annuities or trusts—life insurance gifts and bequests.
