Dental Clinic
The dental clinic at CVFC began in 2015, after recognizing a critical community need for dental care. Many of our patients had very poor oral health, and broader health problems as a result. Through the generosity of donors and grants, the Free Clinic was able to establish a dental clinic, providing dental services at no cost to our patients.
Since then, the program has grown significantly to a 3-chair dental clinic with six part-time staff members, many volunteers, and a partnership with the dental program at Chippewa Valley Technical College. We currently operate weekly dental clinics on Tuesday and Thursday evenings, as well as during the day on the 1st & 3rd Thursdays.
