Community Dental Clinic

02/16/2026

Thank you to Owensboro Health for its continued support of Community Dental Clinic! On February 12, Owensboro Health outlined several components of its community investment strategy - including a $25,000 grant to support the UofL School of Dentistry’s Compassionate Care Dental Care Expansion Project. On behalf of our patients, dentists, staff members, and board of directors, we appreciate your support of our mission!

At Owensboro Health, investing in community health means partnering directly with the people who shape it—employers, schools, nonprofits and local government leaders.

At today’s Owensboro Health Invests event, leaders from across our health system highlighted how philanthropy, strategic engagement and collaboration across departments come together to strengthen the well‑being of our region.

We also announced funding for 17 impactful community projects through our FY2026 Community Health Investments program. These organizations are doing vital work, and we’re proud to support and stand alongside them.

As Dr. Jim Tidwell shared, “By working together with our community partners, we can accomplish even bigger goals to improve the health of our region.”
