FULTON — Northern Oswego County Health Services, Inc. (NOCHSI) has expanded its dental services by opening a new dental practice in Fulton.
NOCHSI in June opened its newly constructed and equipped dental practice adjacent to its Fulton Health Center at 510 S. 4th St., Suite 600 in Fulton — in the former A.L. Lee Memorial Hospital building now owned by Oswego Health.
The dental practice provides a range of primary and preventive dental services, NOCHSI said in a news release. The practice is staffed Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., by dentists Melissa Noel and Anna Gofman, both of whom are continuing to schedule patient hours at NOCHSI’s Pulaski Health Center. They are joined in Fulton by recently hired dental hygienist Patricia Bendura.
NOCHSI says it continues to provide a full range of primary and preventive dental services at its Pulaski Health Center at 61 Delano St. in Pulaski. Services there are currently being provided by dentist Kwi Lee and dental hygienists Brittany Gehrke, Jessica J. Overton, Marissa Taber, and Dorese Vecchio. In addition, NOCHSI has hired dentist Sarah Dunn to serve patients in Pulaski. Dunn brings more than 10 years of dentistry practice experience.
NOCHSI says the U.S. Health Resources & Services Administration provided oral health services expansion grant money that made the Fulton dental program expansion possible.
NOCHSI operates health centers in Fulton, Mexico, Oswego, Parish, Phoenix, and Pulaski. It also operates six school-based health centers located in the APW, Mexico, Pulaski, and Sandy Creek school districts.
