Bright Now!® Dental Gives Back to the Mesa, Arizona Community
In Partnership with the Smiles for Everyone Foundation, Bright Now!® Dental Provides Free Dental Services to Nearly 40 Underserved Patients
MESA, Ariz., April 23, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Bright Now!® Dental partnered with the Smiles for Everyone Foundation to open its Mesa office to provide free dental services for underinsured, low-income individuals last Sunday.
Four doctors from Bright Now! Dental made it their Sunday mission to provide underserved communities in Mesa, AZ with the chance to receive adequate dental care! Dr. Harlean Ahuja, Dr. Jared Kenney, Dr. Chase Andreason and Dr. Meeta Patel gathered with over 25 support staff to host the Mesa Day of Giving, where the Team provided pro bono exams, cleanings, fillings, extractions, and more to the underserved members of their community.
The Mesa Team worked with the Smiles for Everyone Foundation to partner with local nonprofits, such as Harvest Compassion Center, a local food bank; Arizona Center for Youth Resources, a program that guides underprivileged youth; Phoenix Rescue Mission, an organization that fights hunger, homelessness, and addiction; and various veterans' organizations. The Smiles for Everyone Foundation would like to send a special thank you to Phoenix Rescue Mission for establishing such a strong partnership in the past couple of years and allowing Bright Now! Dental volunteers to serve so many clients at these clinics.
"It was absolutely wonderful," reported a representative from Phoenix Rescue Mission. "All the clients that received services were thrilled! Thank you for this opportunity, your Team truly made a difference for our clients."
The Smiles for Everyone Foundation would also like to thank the entire Mesa Team for donating their time and skills to help others! With their hard work and determination, they were able to donate nearly $40,000 in dentistry to bridge the gap between medical providers and those who are unable to afford quality care.
The next Day of Giving that the Foundation will be hosting will be at A+ Dental Care in Roseville, CA on April 27th. Please visit http://www.smilesforeveryone.org for more information.
