RECOMMENDATION:

Recommendation Concerning the Letter of Support for Escambia Community Clinics for the Oral Health Expansion Funding Grant Application - Amy Lovoy, Assistant County Administrator

That the Board ratify the signature of the Vice Chairman on the letter of support for Escambia Community Clinics for their Oral Health Expansion Funding Grant Application (HRSA-16-076), which would create greater access to dental care for the residents of Escambia County.

BACKGROUND:

Escambia Community Clinics has provided health care for uninsured and underinsured adults and children in Escambia County for over 20 years and opened a dental clinic in Pensacola in November 2013. The funds from this grant application would expand oral health services to Cantonment and Century, and provide additional capacity to the main dental clinic in Pensacola with the addition of a dentist. The letter of support from the Escambia County Board of County Commissioners is a necessary component of the application.
