Little success in filling dental van’s budget gap

Stumbaugh manages the Mobile Dental Van, which provides free dental care throughout Central Oregon and has recently faced budget problems. Looking for a solution, Stumbaugh decided she had to make fewer visits to some of the sites whose clients were in the most desperate need. Though some can’t, the van asks sites to pay a fee, though individual care is free. Those organizations — including the homeless shelters Bethlehem Inn and The Shepherd’s House in Bend — were running on tight budgets and couldn’t afford to pay the fee of up to $600.

Stumbaugh would still visit those sites, but only once every four months.

Stumbaugh holds dental clinics at about 40 sites dotted across hundreds of miles from Christmas Valley to Bend to beyond John Day. Some of the sites pay a fee; others historically can’t.
