What it reported doing in 2023

Central Arizona dental society foundation - mission of mercy (cadsf azmom) hosts large dental clinics. In 2023 our volunteers performed several thousand separate dental procedures on _______ patients. The clinic and related services are provided at no cost to individuals who cannot access and/or afford dental care. The population of patients primarily consists of the working poor in central Arizona. Approximately 1,500 volunteers come together and provide basic care and services to people on a first come, first served basis. The total dollar value of the free service was just over 1.7m. This was the 11th year of providing this two-day clinic. In 2023, the foundation served patients at several events serving the veteran community.
