GTE Financial Partners With Largest Charitable Dental Clinic In Florida To Offer Free Dental Care To Underserved Individuals

GTE Financial is proud to volunteer with Florida Mission of Mercy (FLA-MOM), the state's largest charitable dental clinic that provides care to any patient at no cost. The free, two-day dental clinic will be held at the RP Funding Center in Lakeland, FL from May 31 - June 1, 2024, starting at 7 AM.

"GTE Financial is immensely proud to partner with Florida Mission of Mercy, reflecting our shared commitment to serve the underserved in our community," comments Manny Aguilar, Senior Vice President and Chief Commercial and Advisory Services Officer at GTE Financial. "FLA-MOM's incredible impact since 2014, with $14.67 million in donated dental services, 13,816 patients served, and 90,334 procedures performed, underscores the vital need for such initiatives. We are honored to be a part of this life-changing effort."

Underserved and uninsured patients are welcome and seen on a first-come, first-served basis. The goal is to treat 2,000 patients who would otherwise go without care. FLA-MOM clinics offer a comprehensive array of dental services, including oral health education, x-rays, blood pressure and oral cancer screenings, extractions, fillings, limited root canals, and cleanings.
