Dental Programs
Offered 4x Per Year
The Free Dental Program is a partnership of nearly 20 community agencies with leadership provided from the University of Washington Dental School, with UW dentists and dental students delivering core dental services. The program provides dental treatment to Medicaid-eligible children and their parents. Dental screening and treatment is also provided for special populations, including low income veterans, in a companion outreach program called "House Calls".
With the increased demand of adult care, Community Health Partners has expanded access to dental care to low income adults 60+ years of age, by offering quarterly dental clinic for Seniors
Health Care Advocacy
Working in Conjunction with the Affordable Care Act.
Staff at the Free Medical Clinic are screening every clinic patient to determine eligibility for insurance coverage under the Affordable Care Act. When appropriate, patients are assisted in completion of the on-line process and then assisted in obtaining a primary care provider. In addition, the staff coordinate referrals for patients seen at the clinic who need vision services, specialty care, on-going medical or dental care to providers who have indicated their willingness to participate. This enables physicians, dentists, health systems and hospitals to work within an organized structure to donate services.
Routine Eye Exam
Clinic offered twice a year
(typically offered once in January and once in the summer)
This vision clinic is offered to adults 18+ who have no health/vision insurance. The exam includes a routine eye exam and glasses if needed and will be provided free of charge.
