Posted: February 7, 2011
Despite recent cuts to healthcare, a unique community collaborative in the Valley will help 45 medically fragile individuals receive oral care services.
Led by a $75,000 grant from the BHHS Legacy Foundation, this collaborative joins the resources of A.T. Still University’s Arizona School of Dentistry & Oral Health (ATSU-ASDOH), Hacienda HealthCare, and the National Kidney Foundation of Arizona.
The lead organization, ATSU-ASDOH will provide oral care to 20 individuals with special needs referred by Hacienda HealthCare and 25 dialysis patients referred by the National Kidney Foundation of Arizona. ATSU-ASDOH’s Special Care Dentistry units in Mesa and Glendale will provide services to this patient population. The initiative also provides training in special care dentistry to 58 students and six residents.
