Impact worth smiling about! 🦷

Nearly a decade ago, Paso del Norte Health Foundation began investing $11 million to help launch the Texas Tech Dental Oral Health Clinic.

Guided by our mission to improve the region’s health, this investment advanced the development of a school to prepare future dental professionals. 🪥

Today, that investment continues making a difference.

During Give Kids a Smile Day, dental students and faculty provided free oral health services to local children while expanding their access to care and encouraging healthier futures.

Thank you, Texas Tech, for bringing this commitment to life. This is what investing in our region’s health looks like!
