Dental Clinic

Each student will be coming home with consent forms for participation in the free clinic.  If they are covered by Medicaid or Healthwave, the service is free.  If they do not have Medicaid or Healthwave but qualify for free or reduced lunch, there is a minimal cost.  If they do not qualify for any of these but just can’t afford dental care, they should contact the Dental Clinic and see if they qualify any other way for services.  Carrie Enick, District Nurse will be at the Baldwin High School to answer questions.
