Don't Take Our Word For It

Hear from the great people we serve

Thank you for working with our students! Your staff has always been adaptable to the conditions at our school, with a friendly, professional manner. The students who are seen are appreciative of the care you provide. Thanks so much!

Christine Novak, RN, BSN School Nurse, New Bern High School

We love the Smile Programs dental program. It gives our children who do not have access to good dental care a chance to see a great dentist work. We have many children who have never seen a dentist before. These children now have access to a great service.

Charmaine Linkins School Nurse, William Beanes ES

It is always a pleasure working with this program. The staff are very friendly and self sufficient. We’re grateful to be able to provide this service to our students who would otherwise possibly go without dental care.

Tanya School Nurse, Bibich Elementary

This program is something we have needed for a long time. They do excellent work!

Jenny Saylor Farmer FRYSC Coordinator, Cumberland Elementary FRYSC

Great, friendly, generous service. We appreciate it very much!

Bridget Montgomery Case Manager

The staff was incredibly friendly and efficient, and they showed up on time and prepared to work each day they visited us at HCP. Thank you!

Elizabeth Cushing Paraprofessional

We appreciate the opportunity to work with the Smile Program. The friendly service the team provides helps to fill the gap in access to oral health care for children under age 5 in our community.

Katrina Harwood WIC Director, Marion Public Health

The team was great! They do a fabulous job, and the student’s really enjoy visiting the dentist.

Paula J. McCarthy, RN School Nurse

They did amazing! We had students who refused to open their mouths when they went to the dentist with their family that let the Smile Programs dentist examine their teeth here at the school.

Sarah Dean School Nurse, Franklin Learning Center

This dental program runs very independently, with little assistance from school staff. It provides a great service for our students.

Patti Oester Administrative Assistant, Flanagan Grade School
