The organization provided in-home services to home bound elderly, including home visits by physicians and nurses. The goal of this program is to provide Care to home bound elderly who are unable to come into the office and to allow these people to age with dignity in their own homes for as long as possible. We went to local homeless shelters, soup kitchens, and drop-in centers to form relationships with the homeless, and when trust developed, invited them into Care at our offices.

The dental program of the organization provided quality dental Care to all, regardless of the ability to pay, with the emphasis being on preventative and restorative services to achieve and maintain good oral Health.
