About 9% of Arlington Free Clinic’s patients, including Claudia, work as housekeepers. In 25 years of cleaning homes, Claudia has never been insured.
When Claudia had a life-threatening dental crisis 10 years ago (an infection in her mouth began traveling to her brain) she had to seek emergency oral health care outside of Arlington. Her teeth had gotten so
bad because there simply weren’t enough options for free or affordable oral health care in the community. Read Claudia’s full story in our 2015 Annual Report.
You can also read more about how the Clinic’s programs – including our new Oral Health Program – are helping patients like Claudia stay healthy. Thank you for your partnership in FY15, and for your continued support in the coming year.
