7th Annual MOM-n-PA
MOM-n-PA’s
Success
Continues
in 2019
By Dr. Gary S. Davis
Unfortunately, there are thousands of Americans whose oral health
needs are not being met. For the last seven years, MOM-n-PA
Dental Missions has been a catalyst in helping the underserved
receive quality oral health care. MOM-n-PA is a large-scale,
two-day, professional dental clinic that provides care to any
patient at no cost to them, with the goal of serving the underserved
and uninsured in Pennsylvania — those who would otherwise
go without care.
Treatment at the MOM-n-PA missions is provided on a first-come,
first-served basis and all services are provided free of charge
because of the generous donations of many sponsors and the
work of our dedicated volunteers.
Our mission this year took place in Wilkes-Barre and I am pleased
to report that we had another successful and record-breaking
year. I cannot explain it, but each year seems to be more and
more rewarding to our volunteers and more impactful to the
communities we serve.
