Houston County’s mobile dentist clinic just received another full year of funding.
During the Jan. 13 Board of Commissioners workgroup meeting, Jordan Knoke and Bri Ceaser from the Public Health and Human Services office told the board they received a grant from the Minnesota Department of Health. The Community Clinic Grant amounted to $13,873 for the county to use on the mobile dental clinic.
“One of the initiatives is mobile dental clinics, so we fit perfectly in with their project areas. It is a no match grant, so we get that money outright,” Ceaser, Public Health Educator, told the board. “It’s just a continuation of what we’re already doing. It runs through March 1 of 2026, until Feb. 28, 2027, so a full year of funding, which gives us an additional dental day if Children’s Dental Services can support us in that. They have a little bit of capacity constraints right now, but they’re working with us to try and get us the maximum amount of days that they can support.”
