The New York State Dental Foundation works to improve oral health across New York by expanding access to dental care, supporting community outreach programs, and strengthening the dental workforce. Through partnerships and advocacy, the foundation helps connect underserved communities with the care they need to live healthier lives. On October 3 and 4, the Greater Rochester Health Foundation, Livingston County Department of Health, New York State Dental Association, Rotary District 7120, Sunlife | DentaQuest, and the Masonic Service Bureau will bring free dental, medical, and vision care to community members through the RAM Mt. Morris Community Health Clinic.
"We are grateful to the NY State Dental Foundation, Rotary, Remote Area Medical, and the many volunteers who make clinics like this possible. These events provide critical short-term support for individuals and families who may not otherwise be able to access care, particularly as service closures have created significant gaps in access in Livingston County. They help us respond to immediate needs while underscoring the importance of continued investment in sustainable local primary, preventive, and dental care." – Melissa Wendland, Director of Strategic Initiatives
The two-day clinic is expected to serve approximately 200 people, offering care at no cost and without insurance requirements. Supported by healthcare professionals and community volunteers from across the region, the clinic reflects a shared commitment to expanding access to essential health services and improving health outcomes for local families.
