Midwest Refuah Health Center:

Their community features a very high incidence of uninsured residents below the Federal Poverty Level who delay or too often avoid seeking dental care due to financial constraints, accessibility issues, and other socioeconomic conditions.

Their solution is to overcome these worries and concerns by creating and implementing a “Smile Profile” outreach campaign with three goals: 1) Increase awareness and promote the importance of oral health, especially among their vulnerable youth, adults, and seniors 2) provide informative oral health facts and educational tips and 3) Inform their residents that they can now confidently and easily access our affordable dental services through this “Smile Profile” screening/treatment program.
