In January 2003, another expansion was completed: a state-of-the-art Dental Center. Strong was selected as the first HealthReach facility to offer dental care. Recent studies have demonstrated a greater link between oral health and overall health than was previously realized. A coalition of local residents and service providers worked with HealthReach for several years to plan the program and seek funding for this important endeavor.
