A-dec Equipment Donation Benefits NCOHF Affiliate

(Charlotte, NC—July 6, 2010) A-dec? has donated dental office equipment to National Children’s Oral Health Foundation: America’s Toothfairy® (NCOHF) to facilitate enhanced comprehensive dental programs for children from vulnerable populations. United Methodist Mexican American Ministries (UMMAM), a member of the NCOHF Affiliate network, received new operatory equipment for its dental clinic that will aid in providing vital oral health services for underserved pediatric patients in Southwest Kansas. UMMAM is one of 14 comprehensive community health-care facilities in the NCOHF Affiliate network, and the only dental care provider in Southwest Kansas that offers services on a sliding fee scale based on income level.

Paula Vogel, A-dec Manager of Corporate Communications and Public Affairs, stated, “A-dec is proud to support the life-changing services that UMMAM provides and we plan to continue facilitating product donations to NCOHF Affiliate partners working to eliminate pediatric dental disease. A-dec’s Local Territory Manager Dan Pulliam and Patterson Wichita’s Territory representative David Criger worked diligently with UMMAM to identify and deliver equipment that fulfilled UMMAM’s most critical operatory needs.”

“We are honored that A-dec has chosen to partner with NCOHF in supporting top-quality nonprofit oral healthcare programs for children from America’s most vulnerable populations,” said Fern Ingber, NCOHF President and CEO. “Like all NCOHF Affiliates, the comprehensive services provided by UMMAM fill a critical healthcare void for underserved children in their area who would otherwise have no place to turn for basic dental care.”
