Posted Date: June 11, 2019
The grant will also help in increase the enrollment of the students by 30 percent
over the next four years. Currently there are 12 stations at the clinic, enough for
18 students. With the expansion, the clinic hopes to take in 24 students.
The Director of Dental Hygiene says the program has a high success rate for the students,
and is life-changing for the patients.
"This year most of our students have job opportunities, even though they haven't graduated yet," said Tammy Sanderson. "We have been here since 2001. It's time for improvement, enhancement and growth."
The new Richland clinic is set to open September of this year. If patients want to make an appointment, they can call 509-542-4571.
