JKDA Staff Report
Because of the size of the facility, the 2010 KMOM project will be smaller than in previous years. As a result, we will need fewer volunteers in most areas and there will likely be less “working space.”
The event, the ninth KMOM project, will take place in Independence on April 16-17 at the Independence Community College Fieldhouse.
“We look forward to working with the community of Independence over the next seven months to bring the 2010 KMOM event to the Independence area,” said Greg Hill, Executive Director of the Kansas Dental Charitable Foundation, the organizing committee for the KMOM project. “We will be making contacts within the next few months as we look for community support both for volunteers, but for monetary and in-kind support to our efforts.”
The upcoming project aims to treat about 1500 patients, a smaller amount than the clinic typically treats.
“As a result of this decrease in size, the number of patients and providers will be slightly less than in previous years,” Hill said. “We’ll have a better idea of the number of volunteers needed for this project later, but we felt we needed to notify those volunteers in advance.”
The Kansas Mission of Mercy project has treated 16,000 patients since its inception in 2003. It has treated approximately 2000 patients and provided $1 million in free dental care at each KMOM project.
Information regarding the Kansas Mission of Mercy project, including registration, important updates, and news releases will be made through the Kansas Dental Charitable Foundation website at www.ksdentalfoundation.org.
