In July 2022, ConnextCare announced it had again expanded its dental program to the Manor at Seneca Hill, a skilled nursing facility in Oswego. It was another grant from Delta Dental Community Care Foundation that made the expansion possible, ConnextCare noted.
“We truly value and appreciate the support from the Community Care Foundation that we have received over the last several years,” Tricia Peter-Clark, president and CEO of ConnextCare, said in the news release. “This year we will be using some of the dollars received to purchase new, hand-held digital x-ray units that allow our team to take an image of the student’s mouth at the school, which will then be read by the supervising dentist at our main Pulaski location. In just a few minutes, the dentist will detail a treatment plan for that student to address any concerns noted and thus treatment is expedited.”
ConnextCare was previously known as NOCHSI, or Northern Oswego County Health Services Inc. It operates health centers in Central Square, Fulton, Mexico, Oswego, Parish, Phoenix, and Pulaski, per its news release.
