The dental services provide limited dental procedures: extractions, restorations, screenings/x-rays, and hygiene. The total value of these services equaled $105,321. In november 2016 we started offering rehabilitation services: occupational, physical, speech therapy, medical massage, and chriopracatic services. The demand (need) for these services is very high as these speciality servcies are not accessable or affordable in most cases for the population that we serve. The average cost of a patient visit (which includes all of the services) is $112. All of the services provided through bghc are free to the patients. We seek funding through grants, fundraisers, individual donations, and health system collaborative partnership in order to provide these needed services to the community. Free and charitable clinics provide quality care for those who need it most by using volunteer doctors, nurses, as well as all other professionals and individuals who have the gift of caring and compassion to serve others.
