Organiser's description

The ECU Smiles for Veterans Patient Care Fund, established in 2021, was created to help the estimated 92% of veterans who do not have access to dental VA benefits. Many of those are low-income patients who do not have access to other types of dental insurance. The ECU Smiles for Veterans Patient Care Fund provides assistance to those who require emergency treatment at Ross Hall or at one of our clinics across the state. Oral health care is vital to overall health, but is often overlooked because of the cost. Your gift will help us address the needs of these veterans and help them find a dental home so that we can continue to help and care for those who have served us and our country.

Help us support our Veteran's by signing up to participate in our 6th Annual Veteran's Day 5K Race/Walk or Ruck! If you cannot make the event or you would like to donate or sponsor please visit the tabs on our website for more information.
