Volunteer Opportunity- Charleston Area- November 14, 2014

Dental care is a critical, unmet need for residents in the Charleston, Dorchester and Berkeley Counties. Through a partnership with Trident Health and The Dream Center, the community has an opportunity to meet these dental needs through a one-day effort on November 14, 2014.

 

Trident United Way Day of Caring will allow community partners to provide a one day dental clinic for low-income, uninsured Tri-County residents. The Dream Center's mobile dental van will be onsite at the Moncks Corner Medical Center.  

 

The dental van has two dental chairs and is equipped for basic dental services. We need 2 teams of dental professional partners to volunteer for this Day of Caring. Dental professional partner teams include 1 dentist and 2 dental assistants.  

 

Dental Professional partners wanting to volunteer can contact Renee Linyard by November 5th at AccessHealth, TriCounty Network at 843-743-2777 for more details.
