This project started with a simple but non-negotiable belief: Our community deserves access to dental care.

From my first days as CEO, restoring dental services wasn’t a “future goal.” It was a promise I intended to keep.

Today, I get to say: OUR NEW DENTAL DEPARTMENT IS COMPLETE!

I am so deeply thankful for my team that believed in the vision, worked through every challenge, and never lost sight of why this mattered (even when it got uncomfortable). I am incredibly grateful to our generous partners who helped turn this vision into a reality. This would not exist without their belief in our mission.

Our Gary office now has a state-of-the-art dental department, ready to serve our community.

It doesn’t matter what kind of insurance you have, or if you don’t have insurance at all. We have resources in place to make sure your dental needs are met, because access to care should never depend on your circumstances.

This space is a labor of love.
A promise kept.
And a reminder of why I do this work, which is every single one of YOU!

Here’s a sneak peek of something I am incredibly proud of, my gift to our community and my continued promise to always bring you the care you need.

Chief Executive Officer
