ESRHS Launches Dental Outreach Program: Today, May 2nd, 2012, the first patients are being seen as part of ESRHS' dental outreach program. ESRHS has recently purchased portable dental equipment and is now able to travel to remote locations to see dental patients. This outreach program will start in the eight Accomack County Public Schools that do not have an ESRHS dental office onsite (ESRHS dental offices are located at Metompkin and Pungoteague Elementary Schools). ESRHS started seeing patients today at Kegotank Elementary School. For more information, contact Amy Bull at abull@esrh.org
