Temporary Dentist Needs Housing

If you've got a spare room for a couple of months, a volunteer dentist needs a place to stay. The Northern Dental Access Center Bemidji, is a non-profit, community agency that provides basic dental services to people enrolled in Minnesota Health Care Plans, including Medical Assistance, Minnesota Care, General Assistance Medical Care, etc. They rely on volunteer dentists to deliver some care.

The Center is serving an acute dental service need in our area for the underprivileged and underinsured, paying particular attention to children. Did you know that dental caries (tooth decay) is the single most common chronic disease of childhood? Although the Center is located in Bemidji, they also serve people in surrounding counties (Beltrami, Cass, Clearwater and others).

There is a dentist willing to work a 9 week stint at the clinic (Oct 29-Dec 30) and he needs a place to stay. And oh, he also needs the use of a car during that time too. If you have any ideas for this request, please call the Center 218-444-3984.
