Dentists Open Lawrence Clinic To Aid Low Income
The Douglas County Dental Coalition rents a retiring dentist's office and buys equipment to open a Lawrence clinic by Aug 1. It will run on grants and donations with a National Health Service Corps dentist and local hygienists volunteering. The United Methodist Health Ministry Fund supports the effort as a safety net gap in dentistry. Health Care Access referred about 250 uninsured patients last year and expects rising demand.
