Community Service
We realize that our position in our community is important. Dr. Urback and his staff were instrumental in bringing a dental van from Medical Teams International to a local school on a regular basis beginning in 2003, volunteering their time and talents on five days through the school year. This program is expanding, as a second school was added for 2004-05 by recruiting other dental professionals to volunteer and by raising funds through local sources, including the Puyallup Kiwanis Foundation, Pierce County Dental Society, and our own office; our patients have been very generous.
 If you would like to help with dental care offered by Medical Teams International you can send a contribution directly to the Medical Teams International and even specify Puyallup School District as the area to be served. Please visit their Medical Teams International or contact us for further assistance. We also accept contributions in our office.
The December 2003 issue of Connections has an article on page 16. |
"It has been an honor to be a part of this dental van project. It has had such a positive, measurable impact on the health of those children who have received care in the van. New bonds between parents, school and community have developed as well. In my 20+ years as a school nurse it is one of the most professionally satisfying efforts I have been involved with. All of us at Firgrove Elementary are so appreciative of the time that you and your staff have devoted to caring for our students and look forward to next year."

"I really appreciate the time you took for me. It is truly you and your staff who deserve an award for all that you do to help children! I admire your kind, compassionate heart for helping others. And great job at setting up another site at Stewart Elementary! I always look forward to the days of working with you, the kids, and your staff. Thanks for all the work you do..."
