Milestones
3 planned deliverables · 0 complete
We are a free clinic run by volunteer clinicians every Saturday. Tooth pain is the most common reason people come in, and today all we can do is examine, prescribe and refer to a list that is months long. Three dentists have committed two Saturdays a month each if we have a working operatory. This request equips one: a refurbished chair and delivery unit, an overhead light, a sterilizer and the plumbing to connect them.
