It was last fall when ConnextCare collaborated with the Pulaski district to submit a grant request to the New York State Department of Health to expand dental services in the Pulaski School District. The effort is part of the state’s school-based health center (SBHC) dental home program.

Those interested will need to complete an enrollment form in order to register children for dental services at the health center. Enrollment forms are available on the ConnextCare website at www.connextcare.org, at the schools’ main offices, or the SBHCs.
