At this week's Rotary meeting, Al Olsen, a volunteer at the Caring Hand's Dental Clinic, shared information about the non-profit dental service where lower income patients of all ages are provided with limited dental procedures.
The idea started in 2002 when local dentists, such as Rotarian Joe Haack, began a call rotation at the Douglas County Hospital emergency room to help the patients who would go there for help for dental problems.
Focusing on urgent care, public education and recruitment of new dentists, the Task Force of the West Central Dental Resources began researching locations for a dental clinic. With support from the community it became a reality.
The Caring Hands Dental Clinic is located in Suite 44 of the Marion Building. The clinic has 3 fully equipped examining rooms and is open only on Fridays. Booked solid with a waiting list, the clinic sees patients of all ages. Dentists such as Rotary's Joe Haack donate their time on Friday's to help the clinic's patients.
Dan Roark became a member of Rotary International and the Alexandria Rotary Club at yesterday's weekly noon meeting at the Broadway Ballroom.
Dan is an attorney with Tillitt McCarten Johnson & Haseman Ltd in Alexandria.
This video was streamed live to the internet from the Rotary District 5950/5960 Conference at Arrowwood Resort. The time was around 2 pm on Saturday, April 26th, and the afternoon session had just ended so it the reason the room in which this video was taken was fairly empty.
