The clinic was established
in September of 1995 to provide diagnostic and treatment services to children
who do not have dental insurance or financial resources to pay for dental
care. The clinic is held on the campus of West Kentucky Community and
Technical College and operates one Friday a month, September through April.
Angels Clinic in Murray is an additional site where treatment services
are being provided to adults.
To schedule an appointment
or to find out more about either clinic, please contact Amy
Crosier, RDA at: (270) 809-4123.
The
Purchase AHEC works in conjunction with the area family resource centers
to provide a school based sealant program in area school systems. The
goal is to help reduce the potential of tooth decay in a child's permanent
molars by painting on a hardening substance that decreases the potential
for decay to develop. For more about the program or to schedule a visit
to your school, contact Amy
Crosier, RDA at: (270) 809-4123.
Community Based Initiatives
The Purchase AHEC welcomes the opportunity to provide dental health care information at your school or community based health fairs. A variety of displays are available and can be adapted to address dental issues related to a specific age group or target a specific need. Call Amy Crosier, RDA at the Purchase AHEC office 270-809-4123 for more information.
