For a third year, the Patterson Foundation is again generously supporting the work of the dental team at the Good Samaritan Free Health Center (FHC), who provide oral health care to uninsured adults. This grant for $15,000 will enable the dental services team to provide direct patient care, patient care coordination, and hygiene student program coordination. Through this project, the FHC will expand access to care and improve oral and overall health outcomes.

The Free Health Center is 100% philanthropically funded, depending on generous individuals, foundations, and corporations who donate financial resources. All philanthropy is coordinated through Good Samaritan Foundation.

The Patterson Foundation, founded in 2004, is the charitable arm of the Patterson Companies – the dental supply and equipment company that provides supplies to the FHC.
