Ensuring Access
BHCHP’s dental team works to make specialized oral health care easy to come by in the context of the myriad challenges and competing priorities of homelessness. Our full-time, six-chair dental clinic at Jean Yawkey Place provides walk-in appointments every day for patients in need of urgent care and those who couldn’t schedule in advance. Priority is given to inpatients at the Barbara McInnis House, our 104-bed medical respite facility, and to primary care patients at greater risk of dental disease. We also work closely with other sites around the city to coordinate dental appointments and support patients with transportation and language needs.
