Clinic Demonstrates Dental Health Needs
More than 700 volunteers.
More than 1,300 patients.
Their convergence last week at West Virginia University at Parkersburg was a step in a movement intended to change the way many West Virginians take care of themselves.

The two-day free clinic in Parkersburg underscored that gap and showed that dental care is not available or affordable for many, many West Virginians. The Parkersburg community, with help from far and wide, came together in a remarkable way on July 31 and Aug. 1 to bring light to that obvious hole in our health care safety net.
