This is an amazing story in a small rural community. Dentist Bill Kerr, his wife Lisa, and dental hygienist Lisa Stoughton had a vision of a dental clinic where low income families who couldn’t afford dental care could get urgent care at no cost. SIRCH was approached to help bring this vision to reality and the program is now under the SIRCH umbrella of services.
After securing a site in Haliburton Village, donations of materials, equipment, labour and supplies flooded in. Dentists, dental assistants and hygienists, some with businesses in Haliburton County and some from outside the county, have volunteered their time to the Dental Outreach. Dental care will be provided at least two days a week, year-round.
