221 KIDS RECEIVE FREE DENTAL CARE
Thanks to a free dental clinic for children hosted by Neighborhood Healthcare, their partners and a volunteer team of San Diego dentists, hygienists and assistants last Monday, 221 children were treated to care that included dental screenings, sealants and fluoride varnish coatings—total value more than $15,000.

The kids also enjoyed games, contests and other activities while their parents received information about important community resources. Hats off to everyone who made it happen, including those whose contributions make the clinics possible. Neighborhood Healthcare plans to host more dental clinics in the future.
