Patients at free clinic open wide, and dentist and staff open their hearts
Once every three months, the employees of Arnold Peace’s dental practice spend a day off together. Led by Dr. Peace, the dental team volunteers at the Catholic Charities Free Health Care Center, where free dental services are provided to those in need.
Dr. Peace found out about Catholic Charities a year ago through one of his staff members.
“My dental assistant, Mary Ann [Derbis], had read about it in her church bulletin. She said she thought we should volunteer and I told her to look into it,” Dr. Peace said. “I must admit that I am your typical dentist, who likes to stay in my own environment, but they had such a desperate need for volunteers, we decided to do it. It was that easy.”
