Methodist Healthcare Ministries of South Texas, Inc. has awarded the �����Թ� School of Dentistry an emergency grant totaling $22,662 to continue dental care services at Haven for Hope, which serves the community's homeless population. “The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted the services provided to the homeless residents of Haven for Hope by limiting these assistances to only emergency care,” said Juanita Lozano-Pineda, DDS, MPH, associate dean for external affairs with the �����Թ� School of Dentistry.“Thanks to funds provided by Methodist Healthcare Ministries, the infection-control personal protective items and additional equipment that controls aerosol generation during procedures will all help protect our patients, dental students, residents and faculty from the highly contagious virus. This will allow students and residents to better understand some of the engineering controls needed to practice dentistry safely, as we expand to resume comprehensive care services to a vulnerable population that is in great need of oral health care.” Read the full story HERE.
