John’s Island Foundation has awarded Treasure Coast Community Health (TCCH) a grant to assist with the expansion of pediatric dental services at an up-and-coming 16,000 square-foot medical facility in the western portion of Indian River County. The medical facility will offer pediatrics, family medicine, dental, behavioral/mental health, and pharmacy services; this grant allows TCCH to continue providing pediatric dental care with high-grade technology and efficiency.
The western area of the county is currently considered a “healthcare desert”. When the West facility is complete, TCCH will be able to increase the number of patients seen annually and take a significant step in reducing the number of visits to the local emergency department.
“This generous gift will support our efforts to increase dental resources for vulnerable populations to the west side of the county,” conveys Dr. Joseph Catuogno, TCCH Dental Director. “Dental services at a young age are crucial to maintaining overall health, so we’re excited to be able to expand our care.”
