The Douglas County Dental Clinic is a non-profit safety-net dental clinic located in Lawrence, KS, dedicated to providing quality dental care to underserved populations in Douglas County. Their mission is to offer reduced fee dental services and oral health education to uninsured individuals, low-income families, and Kansas Medicaid beneficiaries, with a particular focus on meeting the special needs of their patient community.
Founded in 1998 as the Douglas County Dental Coalition, the clinic initially operated with part-time staff and no physical location. However, through the support of the Ethel and Raymond Rice Foundation and the United Methodist Health Ministry Fund, they were able to acquire equipment and supplies, eventually establishing a permanent location in 2001. Today, the Douglas County Dental Clinic serves over 4,200 patients annually, providing more than 8,000 visits, and continues to be a vital resource for accessible dental care in the community.
