Our office had the privilege of volunteering for the Good Samaritan Clinic earlier this month. Living in a rural area, access to free or subsidized dental care is limited. With Medicaid reimbursements at an all time low, it is nearly impossible for offices to take it on. Medicaid clinics are sometimes a far drive and subsidized or free dental clinics are sparse.
To supply free quality services to our community, the Seventh Day Adventist Church in Franklin partnered with the Good Samaritan Clinic to help provide free services to Franklin. Services included dental, optometry, general physician check-ups, therapy, job fair, food pantry and more. Many local physicians, dentists, employers, and organizations volunteered their time and materials to help for a weekend of giving.
Corbin Dental offered their facility, materials, and staff to see nearly 30 adults in one day. We provided cleanings, x-rays, fillings and extractions. It was a busy day at the office but the appreciate of the patients was worth it all.
At Corbin Dental, our mission is to serve with Integrity, Service, and Excellence. We hope to continue to provide free days in the future, and provide an avenue for our citizens to have access to quality dental care. Thank you to the Seventh Day Adventist Church and the Good Samaritan Clinic for letting us partake in the event!
