We’re proud to share this post from RFK Community Alliance highlighting the impact of our Caring for Kids mobile dental program.
By bringing care directly into schools and partner organizations, we’re meeting kids where they already are, making it easier for families and ensuring dental screenings don’t get missed. When care is accessible, it becomes routine. And when healthy dental habits start early, they can last a lifetime.
This work is about more than cleanings and checkups. It’s about reducing barriers, building trust, and helping every child grow up with a healthy smile and the confidence that comes with it.

Caring for Kids, Caring for Futures 💙🦷

We’re proud to spotlight Caring for Kids, a mobile dental outreach program through Community Health Connections, and their incredible influence at RFK Community Alliance’s Doctor Franklin Perkins School.

Thanks to this partnership, our residential students receive free, comprehensive preventive dental care right on campus, including exams, cleanings, x-rays, fluoride treatments, sealants, and cavity-prevention services—all in a familiar, supportive setting.

These on-site clinics remove barriers to care, promote wellness, and help our youth smile with confidence. We’re deeply grateful to Caring for Kids and the dental professionals who make this invaluable service possible. 💫

Community Announcement!
We are aware of the recent announcement regarding Community HealthLink’s upcoming plans to close. Often our organizations are confused due to similar names and acronyms – Community HealthLink (CHL) and Community Health Connections (CHC) - and this has resulted in some concern about our locations closing as well. We are two different organizations. Community Health Connections (CHC) wants to reassure our patients and our partners that our organization remains open, fully operational and committed to serving the community. CHC continues to expand our Medical, Dental, Adult & Child Behavioral & Mental Health, and Substance Use Disorder Treatment services to meet our communities’ growing needs. We remain a steady reliable resource for those seeking care. Community Health Connections is expanding our behavioral health services, and we are actively accepting new patients and hiring. www.chcfhc.org/careers
