Holyoke Health Center was recently awarded $5000 to support the purchase of a digital x-ray sensor and other miscellaneous expenses in our dental clinic from the Agnes M. Lindsay Trust. Andrea Gancarz, Chief Dental Program Officer, expresses her gratitude: “Our heartfelt thanks to the Agnes M. Lindsay Trust for their generous grant support. Their contribution will support our efforts to meet the oral health needs of our community. Thank you.”
The Agnes M. Lindsay Trust provides financial assistance to nonprofit organizations across New England. The trust works to assist organizations that support the wellbeing of underprivileged communities. Past projects include: oral health, special needs, blind, deaf and learning disabled, elderly, children’s homes, youth organizations, youth and family services, homeless shelters and many others.
Holyoke Health Center’s Dental department provides adult, pediatric and orthodontic services to the community in five locations. With the help of the Agnes M. Lindsay Trust’s generous grant, the Health Center will be able to purchase an x-ray sensor that is essential in providing patients with oral health diagnosis. With limited x-ray sensors, hygienists must share, which causes an increased wait time for patients and staff and wear and tear on the equipment. The additional sensor will help keep oral health care affordable and attainable for patients who face disparities.
