Veterans can get free dental care June 25
Rep. Frank Burns May 25, 2016 | 10:18 AM
As an elected official, I feel obligated to let my constituents who have served our country protecting our freedoms know of programs from which they might benefit.
Most times, those programs for veterans are state-related and my office plays a direct role in providing information, helping fill out applications and cutting through red tape.
Other times, my office plays an intermediary role, notifying veterans of services that others are providing, such as the free dental care for veterans that will be available Saturday, June 25 at numerous locations through Pennsylvania, including Johnstown.
During your half-hour appointment, you can receive a free cleaning, filling, extraction or denture repair – whichever is of greatest need – and you’ll get a referral to an area dental provider for any additional procedures.
Area veterans interested in learning more or scheduling the required appointment for this free dental care should call 1-844-Aspen-HMM. They can also contact my offices for help with this or any other veteran-related matter.
I believe no veteran should go without needed oral health care, or any other health-related service. Please spread the word on this free dental service if you know a veteran who might benefit.
