In response to the growing problem of providing children with health and dental services, the Network of Community Ministries’ Adolescent and Children’s Clinic offers free health care and dental services to uninsured children. All services are provided by a dedicated staff of volunteer physicians, dentists, nurses, hygienists and front office workers.
The Network Clinic has been on the frontline of medical assistance for uninsured or uninsurable children since its inception in 1992, working closely with the Richardson Independent School District and local medical and dental agencies to ensure the best quality of care.
In December 2009, two of the clinic's exam rooms were renovated to serve as dental operatory facilities. With the addition of dental services in January, 2010, Network began providing free dental screening and care through the Rotary Dental Clinic.
In 2013-2014, the Adolescent and Children’s Clinic helped 6,625 unisured children with acute care and dental treatment through its services and projects.
