  • Title: Dental care for the underserved children of Monterey County: meeting the challenge.
    Author: Stewart RE.
    Journal: J Calif Dent Assoc; 1998 May; 26(5):394-6. PubMed ID: 10528573.
    Abstract:
    With its expansive area, and the special needs of agricultural workers, Monterey County held significant challenges for setting up a children's health clinic. Part of the solution to addressing the county's unmet dental needs was the establishment of the Children's Miracle Network dental center in 1995. But working in the fields leaves little time for travel to appointments, so the dental center expanded to a mobile unit that can go where the need is. Understanding the special needs of one's community is crucial to establishing programs that can successfully address the state's needs for children's dental care.
