Volunteer Registration for OkMOM opens TOMORROW, 10/15
The Oklahoma Dental Association and the Delta Dental of Oklahoma Charitable Foundation are proud to be co-sponsoring the second annual Oklahoma Dental Mission of Mercy (OkMOM), scheduled for February 4-5, 2011 at the Cox Convention Center in downtown OKC.
What is the Oklahoma Mission of Mercy (OkMom)?
OkMOM is a two-day, MASH-style free dental clinic designed to treat the most pressing needs of patients that are either uninsured, underinsured or would normally not have access to dental care. At the event, patients will undergo medical and dental triage to identify their needs and then be routed to the appropriate areas of treatment: oral surgery, extractions, restorations, pediatrics and hygiene. We anticipate treating 1,600 patients over the course of the event.
About 1,000 volunteers are needed for various positions. Volunteer Registration opens tomorrow, October 15th, and we encourage you to register as soon as possible!
To register or find out more information, visit http://www.okmom.org/.
