Howden <br /> 1717 Legion Road <br /> Chapel Hill, N.C. 27514 <br /> Dear Dr. Howden: <br /> I am writing to ask for your support of funds to continue maintenance <br /> of Orange County's health department clinics. <br /> The discontinuance of the clinics would have a devastating effect on <br /> the dental health of our county's school children. Specifically, the <br /> county's dental health screening and referral program would be adversely <br /> effected. As you know, every year the children in both school systems are <br /> screened and referred for obvious dental problems. Most of the children who <br /> cannot afford dental care are referred and treated at the health department <br /> clinics. Last year 522 children were identified as needing care. Many of <br /> these children (especially in Northern Orange County) had no where else to <br /> go but the health department clinics. <br /> Without the clinics, many children would have no access to dental care. <br /> Please support the coninuance of the health department clinics. Thank you <br /> for your consideration in this regard. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Jan Carlton Holland, R.D.H., M.S. <br /> JCH:sc <br /> cc: Mr. Ken Thompson, County Manager <br /> Ms. Shirley Marshall, County Commissioners Chair <br />
