SERVING THE PETERSBURG COMMUNITY: VDA FOUNDATION COLLABORATION WITH CENTRAL VIRGINIA HEALTH SERVICES
Abstract
The Virginia Dental Association Foundation (VDAF) collaborated with Central Virginia Health Services (CVHS) to host a Missions of Mercy Project in Petersburg on November 11, 2023. This event provided free dental extractions to thirty-six patients, valued at $18,356, with the help of seventy-three volunteers, including dentists and dental students. CVHS-Petersburg, one of twenty CVHS health centers, offers comprehensive healthcare services to medically underserved families in Central Virginia. CVHS is a non-profit organization that provides care regardless of insurance status, with a sliding scale discount based on family size and income.
