PCHC Awarded Northeast Delta Dental Foundation Grant
We are pleased to announce that the board of the Northeast Delta Dental Foundation has approved a grant of $7,980 to help PCHC’s Dental Center at Helen Hunt Health Center purchase a Gendex Sensor System which will expand x-ray capacity and help improve image quality of dental radiographs. The Northeast Delta Dental Foundation is committed to helping improve access to oral health care, and has partnered with Penobscot Community Health Care on a number of projects to support this.
Philip Higgins, Jr., DMD, Chief Dental Officer, states, “Once again, Delta Dental has shown their commitment to the oral health of Maine citizens by providing a generous grant to allow us to purchase digital dental sensors for our Helen Hunt Clinic in Old Town. Delta continues to prove itself an incredibly responsible corporate partner to public health dental centers such as ours. Without Delta’s strong commitment to our mission, we would be unable to meet as many of the needs that our tens of thousands of patients present to us. We are continually grateful.”
Mark Delcourt, Practice Director, Helen Hunt Health Center, states, “We appreciate the support of Northeast Delta Dental in helping us improve our x-ray image quality, to ensure we provide our patients with the best possible treatment plan and services.”
PCHC Dental Center at Helen Hunt Health Center offers a full range of quality dental services for people of all ages. Using the latest in oral health technology combined with compassionate, knowledgeable staff, PCHC’s Dental Centers focus not only on preventative care, but offer specialty care for a variety of dental issues. The Helen Hunt Health Center Dental practice is currently recruiting for a new dentist.
