Dental MASH Unit

By

In late September, Garden City Community Clinic organized the a half-day Dental MASH
Outreach. Through this project, we were able to see 62 of our pre‐screened patients in a single day, utilizing the services of 80 volunteers. This helped clear our waiting list at the Garden City location so that we are able to respond to emergency and acute dental appointment needs more quickly. Services rendered were calculated at about $38,700.

The partnership included Carrington College, Idaho Women’s Charitable Foundation, United Way of Treasure Valley, Saint Alphonsus, College of Western Idaho, Idaho State Dental Association and several area dental suppliers.

We are eager and planning to repeat the event again in April. To find out how you can volunteer, please visit our volunteer page.

Development of “Wheel of Life” Tool

By

After several meetings with patients about what factors affect their health, the Garden City Community Clinic is designing a wellness wheel called the “Circle of Life.” Over the years, we we have discovered that our patients repeatedly come up with the common areas of that impact their health. For the first time we will provide a unified tool that will assist them to identify their areas of strengths and needs.

Ultimately, the “Circle of Life” will provide patients and our medical team a holistic roadmap for an individual’s health. We will point patients to the many resources that we have available directly and through other community resources.
