Dental Department Expands Access to Care
North Side Christian Health Center (NSCHC) has received renewed support from the Delta Dental Community Care Foundation to expand access to high-quality dental care. This latest grant funds the purchase of two specialized bariatric-accessible patient chairs: a comprehensive exam chair and a panoramic X-ray chair.
These additions ensure that patients of all body types and medical complexities can receive treatment in a safe, comfortable, and dignified environment.
Overcoming Barriers to Care
As one of the few dental providers in the region accepting Medicaid and Medicare, NSCHC continues to experience a high demand for services. The new equipment significantly enhances safety and accessibility, particularly for individuals with mobility challenges who frequently face barriers to routine dental care.
Key benefits of the new equipment include:
Enhanced Dignity & Comfort: Bariatric-accessible designs accommodate patients securely and comfortably.
Improved Safety: The new panoramic X-ray chair allows patients to remain safely seated during imaging procedures, reducing transfer risks for those with limited mobility.
Higher Diagnostic Quality: Stable, proper positioning ensures clearer imaging and more accurate diagnostic results.
A Continued Partnership for Community Health
This investment builds upon recent dental department upgrades made possible through prior Delta Dental funding. By modernizing our clinical space, NSCHC remains committed to removing barriers and providing accessible, compassionate oral healthcare to everyone in our community.
