The Smile Factory Foundation Merges with Borrego Community Health Foundation
Marking its debut in the field of pediatric
dentistry, the Borrego Community
Health Foundation has announced its merger with The
Smile Factory Foundation,
a nonprofit organization whose mission is to improve
the oral health of children residing in the desert region.
“We are very pleased to welcome The Smile Factory to our team,” said Bruce Hebets, chief executive officer of the BCHF. “The addition of The Smile Factory expands our ability to offer a more extensive array of health services and further our goal of providing special services to the children of our region.”
Centro Medico Cathedral City celebrates expansion
Centro
Medico-Cathedral City celebrated a major
expansion of its facilities Thursday,
Oct. 15 at a public open house at 69175 Ramon Ave, Building A. A ribbon-cutting
ceremony, clinic tours, light
hors d’oeuvres and musical entertainment were the highlight of the event.
The expansion into an adjacent 6,000-square-foot retail space at the Stater Brothers shopping center more than doubles the size of the existing 5,880-square-foot facility.
our foundation
Borrego
Community Health Foundation (BCHF) is a private,
non-profit 501©(3) Federally Qualified Health
Center operating in San Diego County.
BCHF tailors primary and preventive health programs to meet the special
needs of women, children, adolescents, senior
citizens, immigrant farm
workers, and those at risk of developing
serious diseases such as diabetes. Without
these and similar programs, many of the residents in this isolated
desert region would have difficulty obtaining professional medical
care.
To reach those populations, BCHF acquired fully operational clinics in Cathedral City, El Cajon, Julian, Coachella Valley and Thermal. In addition, the foundation opened a full-time pharmacy in central Borrego that dispenses medications to outlying clinics through daily messenger service.
our services
Borrego Community Health Foundation offers a wide array
of health services that are unique in small, isolated communities
such as Borrego Springs. BCHF offers patients at satellite clinics direct
access to visiting specialists
in such fields as chiropractic, dermatology, mental
health, pediatrics,
podiatry, prenatal care, reproductive
health and women’s health.
The latest health service added is pediatric dentristry,
provided through our new partnership with The Smile Factory.
Programs are available for pediatrics, adults and geriatrics. The caring
staff are highly trained and skilled in all aspects of patient care.
