By Nelson Daily Staff
West Kootenay Community TEETH Clinic Society is looking for a few friends to help spend $50,000.
Well, actually, West Kootenay Community TEETH Clinic Society board is seeking partnerships from the region with the purpose of increasing access to low-cost quality dental care.
“We are seeking your ideas of how you can partner with TEETH in your community,” said Eric Ramsden Co-Chair of West Kootenay Community TEETH Clinic Society in a media release.
“Although we have envisioned similar clinics operating in the rest of the Kootenay/Boundary region, we realize each community is unique.”
“Because we understand what is effectual in one community, may not be in another, we are asking for your suggestions,” Ramsden adds.
“Let us know what might work best in your area to increase access to low-cost quality dental care.”
West Kootenay Community TEETH Clinic Society recently won the grand prize of $50,000 in the Pacific Blue Cross 75th Anniversary “Share the Care Giveaway.”
The money enables the Board of TEETH to invite dentists, dental professionals and community members of the Central Kootenay and Kootenay Boundary Regional Districts to unite with the work of TEETH’s mission “to increase access to dental care for all citizens in the communities regardless of income level,” Ramsden said.
Ramsden said the Board of TEETH is now welcoming the opportunity to partner with West Kootenay residents, listening to all suggestions.
“Let us know what is your community’s ‘best-fit’ to provide low-cost quality dental care,” he said.
