  • Outreach Program for Underserved Residents

    Our Outreach Program eliminates transportation as a barrier to care for underserved Santa Cruz County residents at many venues, including schools, skilled nursing facilities (SNFs), Head Start, and at our 1-chair Outreach Clinic at the Homeless Services Center in Santa Cruz.Our partnerships allow patients who might not otherwise get access to the treatment they need. In addition, the collaboration ensure that oral health is a topic in classrooms, in parent education workshops like WIC (Women, Infants, and Children) Centers and in the outreach materials we provide.At our outreach sites, our staff delivers oral health evaluations including x-rays, and procedures such as cleanings and fluoride varnish. Those patients who require more complex care are referred back to our clinic.
