Hospital dental clinic marks fifth year

When the Oconee hospital opened a dental clinic for those unable to pay for care by private dentists, a dental clinic in a hospital was un-precedented in South Carolina. That was five years ago. The anniversary was marked last week when Cortni Nations of the Foundation Board spoke to the Oconee Memorial Holdings Board. She said, “They (the dental clinic” have performed 3,855 extractions and served nearly 3,000 patients over five years.”
