Community Health & Dental Care, Montgomery County Community College and the TriCounty Area Chamber of Commerce held a ribbon-cutting ceremony to celebrate the Grand Opening of the CHDC Mobile Oral Health Unit. The unit offers students, employees and community members affordable and convenient access to dental services in the heart of Pottstown at the College’s Pottstown Campus at 101 College Drive.
“We are very excited to have this opportunity to partner with Montgomery County Community College to deliver quality dental services for the students, faculty members and general community with easier access for all," said Bridgette McGivern, CHDC CEO.
MCCC President Dr. Vicki L. Bastecki-Perez shared the combined vision for wellness services for both students and the community and collaborative educational opportunities for students enrolled in its Dental Hygiene programs, and MCCC Board Trustee/Pottstown Regional Community Foundation President David Kraybill expressed his support for the partnership and the bright future ahead for the community members this will serve.
The Grand Opening celebration also kicked off Monty’s Fall Bash at the Pottstown Campus celebrating the fall semester and offered free food, an inflatable obstacle course, a caricature artist, and more for students. It was a opportunity to come together and meet other students while participating in various activities.
