Helped by $100,000 Delta Dental grant
OSWEGO — ConnextCare says it is now using a hybrid dental room at its Oswego office, thanks to a $100,000 grant from the Delta Dental Foundation that it used to complete the project.
The space is designed to expand access to dental care for patients of all ages, ConnextCare said in its July 22 announcement.
The hybrid dental room includes equipment and technology that allow providers to perform both preventive and restorative services in a single, flexible space, ConnextCare said. The addition has enhanced ConnextCare’s ability to meet the growing demand for dental services in the community while “improving efficiency and reducing wait times.”
“We are incredibly grateful to Delta Dental for their support in helping us bring this project to life,” said Tricia Peter Clark, president and CEO of ConnextCare. “The new hybrid room allows us to better serve our patients by increasing our capacity and improving the overall patient experience.”
The grant from the Delta Dental Foundation (DDF) aligns with its mission to advance oral health and reduce disparities in care across New York state, per the ConnextCare announcement. DDF is a nonprofit, charitable organization that serves as the philanthropic arm of Delta Dental and its affiliate companies.
