Today is National Dentist Day! Please join us in thanking the dentists who serve in the Hope Within Dental Clinic, Dr. Dwight Ashby & Dr. Elena Guk. Dr. Ashby and Dr. Guk are excellent dentists who provide our patients with high quality care. They care deeply about the dental needs of the people who come to them and often go above and beyond to work for the best possible solution for their dental care. Last year we had 282 dental appointments at Hope Within. We currently have a wait list of several months to get an appointment with one of our dentists. If you know of a dentist who might be willing to volunteer a few hours a month to help us meet this need, please ask them to call and speak with our Dental Coordinator, Darice Baird, at 717-367-9797. Just 3 hours a month, or every other month, would make a huge difference!

Happy National Dental Assistants Week! We at Hope Within are so thankful for our Dental Assistant, Kari. Kari serves the patients of Hope Within with a joyful heart that helps to put our dental patients at ease. She has willingly stepped up to serve alongside all of our dental staff to help us meet our patient’s needs. We are looking for more dental assistant volunteers to serve once a month in our dental clinic. If you have any interest in possibly volunteering a few hours a month, please contact Darice Baird at darice.baird@hopewithin.org or 717-367-9797 ext 304.

🦷🧚🏻‍♀️Today is National Tooth Fairy Day! We keep the tooth fairy pretty busy here at the Hope Within Dental Clinic. In 2025 we performed 44 extractions for 22 patients.
🦷In my house, the tooth fairy leaves $1 per tooth, although I have heard that in some families the rate in much more generous!
🦷If you would like to play tooth fairy for Hope Within you can make a donation at https://hopewithin.org/donate/ or you can mail a check to Hope Within, 4748 East Harrisburg Pike, Elizabethtown, PA 17022.
🦷Your donations help us to continue to provide quality dental care to our patients. Thank you!

Hebrews 6:10:
“God is not unjust; he will not forget your work and the love you have shown him as you have helped his people.”

We are so thankful for our wonderful volunteers! One of our volunteer receptionists, Wendy, spent a lot of time playing with these children and keeping them entertained while they were in our waiting room. You really never know what you will find when you come to volunteer here! It could be playing with children, sorting donations, praying with patients, or any other situation that comes through the door!

Is God giving you a nudge to volunteer? We’d love to chat with you about helping here at Hope Within!

Thank you, Wendy!

♥️American Heart Month: A Month That Puts Heart Health Front and Center♥️

Cardiovascular disease remains the leading cause of death both nationally and globally. On average, someone in the United States dies of cardiovascular disease every 34 seconds. Every February, the American Heart Association celebrates American Heart Month to raise awareness about cardiovascular disease and encourage healthy lifestyles. This year’s theme, You Are the First Responder Until Help Arrives, reminds people that everyone can be a first responder in a cardiac emergency.

A healthy reminder that February 6th is National Wear Red Day!

We would LOVE to see you rocking your red and use and tag on social media!

At the Hope Within Dental Clinic we strive to give our patients everything they need to improve their oral health. During their appointments our hygienists and dentists provide instruction on the best way to brush and floss to keep their mouth healthy. We also give each patient a bag of the dental supplies that they will need to keep up their oral health until their next appointment; tooth brush, toothpaste, and floss. We also include a scripture card with each bag to encourage our patients with the great love that God has for them. In addition to the supplies listed on the graphic below, we also offer a kid’s version of our dental bags. The kid’s bags are the same as the adult bags, just with a kid’s toothbrush and a kid’s toothpaste. Right now, we are out of supplies to make up more dental bags to share with our patients. Would you please consider helping us make more dental bags? Donations of either supplies for the bags or completed dental bags would be helpful. Our volunteers at Hope Within can assemble the bags for us to distribute. If you are part of a church, school, or community group that is looking for a project you could assemble the bags as a group and drop off completed bags. We would be grateful for the assistance either way, and our patients would be as well. If you have any questions about the dental program at Hope Within, please contact Darice Baird at darice.baird@hopewithin.org or at 717-367-9797. Thank you!
