The Security Service Charitable Foundation is helping the uninsured residents of Summit and Wasatch counties receive free dental care by donating $10,000 to People’s Health Clinic (PHC), a non-profit organization that helps patients stay productive at work and healthy for their families through no-cost quality care. The donation will be used to purchase a new dental chair and compressor.
“Purchasing a new dental chair and compressor is especially important for hosting dental clinics that serve at least 100 families each year,” said Beth Armstrong, executive director for People’s Health Clinic. “We are able to serve others because of the time donated by 150 volunteer doctors and funds provided by exceptional partners like the Security Service Charitable Foundation. Their generosity is contributing to a stronger, healthier community.”
PHC serves nearly 9,000 patients annually with quality medical care for prenatal and chronic disease patients, as well as primary care, dentistry, pediatrics, and mental health.
“People’s Health Clinic has been serving this community for 20 years,” said Ben Wiseman, senior vice president of member service—Mountain West Region for Security Service Federal Credit Union. “Their compassion and service to the community by helping provide care for the uninsured is making a phenomenal difference to so many individuals and families in need of medical care and dental services. We appreciate the opportunity to support such a wonderful organization.”
People’s Health Clinic is funded by local residents, patients, businesses, churches and governments. For more information, visit peopleshealthclinic.org or call 435.333.1850.
