Dentistry with a Heart Nov. 19th 2022 Results !!
Park Cities Rotary event "Dentistry with a Heart" celebrated its 11th year on November 19th, 2022. We treated 19 patients from Salvation Army Adult Rehabilitation Center for basic dental services of extractions, fillings and cleanings. Salvation Army has been a partner with D.W.A.H. from our 1st year and not only helped identify patients but hosted our dental pre screening on Nov. 17th. This early screening reduced onsite crowding at Agape, improved time and patient flow and allowed patients to go directly to their dental chair. Thank you James Bookman and Captain Cheryl Gibson with Salvation Army, Fred Brown and Dr. Rob Levy, Dr. Willard Tompson and Dr. Michael Rainwater, as the pre screening enabled a great start for the treatment day.
This was the 6th year Agape Clinic and 1st year with Mission East Dallas Dental Clinic hosting D.W.A.H. With this partnership of private practice dentists, Mission East Dallas and Agape clinic staffing and Park Cities Rotary organizing the event each year, in addition to dental treatment, our patients health vitals were checked with some coming back to Agape for future medical care.
Park Cities Rotary volunteers who guided us through the day; Chair - Fred Brown, Karen Farris, Ruth Alhilali, Phillip Bankhead, Paul Hoffmann, Ley Waggoner, Richard Stanford, Pam Carvey, Barbara Jeffries, Jenifer Hammond, Rob Levy, Jodie Ray, Kathleen Klaviter, Michael Rainwater and a Big Thank You!! to Patsy Watson who organized all the food for the day. Our dentist volunteers were Drs.; Chris Miller, Todd Ayars, Martin Kahn, Stephanie Melland, Rob Levy, Pat Wharry and Michael Rainwater. Thank you to our amazing Hygienists; Melissa Gruenwald, Sheila Coleman, Dina Moncada and Wendi Gray. As always nothing happens without assistants, Thank you Dulce Pardo and Sharon Montiel.
Working with Agape Clinic and Mission East Dallas is always such a blessing. Thank you from Agape Paul Hoffmann, Dr. Barbara Baxter and lucky to have Dora Gonzalez at the front desk. Thank you from Mission East Dallas Charles Wiltraut, Dr. Fahad Ashraf and your amazing staff mentioned above, truly a great Team. $19,050 of dentistry accomplished improved the lives of our patients and provided an opportunity for all volunteers to make a difference. Great way to spend a Saturday!!
