UTSD dental student Khushbu Patel tells San Jose Clinic visitors about the dental services a donation could provide to needy patients. |
The San Jose Clinic, which offers health services to Houston’s poor, raised more than $180,000 at its “Art with Heart” fundraiser in April, and University of Texas School of Dentistry student Khushbu Patel was there as a volunteer, telling visitors and donors about her experiences providing dental care to low-income patients at San Jose.
UTSD has a long-standing partnership with the clinic, which relies heavily on volunteer dentists, dental hygienists, physicians, nurses, students and others to provide an array of primary and specialty care to patients.
At the April 13 event, donated artwork was auctioned off to raise money for the clinic. As a second-year dental student, Patel volunteered frequently at San Jose, including screening children who participated in UTSD’s “Give Kids a Smile Day” in February. The annual event provided free dental care to nearly 150 children from low-income families. Read more | |
