Our team of public health dental hygienists are seeking volunteers to help us at family homeless shelters on the South Shore. The help we are seeking would be to watch small children while the parents get their teeth cleaned (keeping them preoccupied to as to keep them away from our sharp instruments). Other tasks would include writing notes for the hygienists, helping to organize and manage patient flow, use translating app to help translate for non-English speaking patients, and other related tasks. The shelters we provide care at are on the South Shore and we provide care at shelters 2-3 days per month. Any availability to help is greatly appreciated!

4 keith way, ste. 3, Scituate, MA 02066, US
Mission Statement
The mission of VDH, Inc is to provide compassionate and comprehensive dental hygiene services to the most vulnerable populations across the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and to never deny care due to a patients inability to pay.
Description
Mobile Dental Hygiene services. We provide preventive dental hygiene care to homebound patients, homeless shelters, Senior Centers, Substance misuse centers, teen group homes, teen parenting programs and more.
We are looking for volunteers to help us with marketing(help with elevator pitch and social media) and financial expertise(putting together our budget for planning and fundraising opportunities). We are looking to expand our reach to more elderly and Veteran patients, which means that we're needing to seek funding, as these populations do not have Mass Health(which is the only ins that the Commonwealth allows public health dental hygienists to bill to.). Having a more concrete budget laid out and better fine tuned marketing will help us to be more successful.
