La Red Health Center, Inc.

https://lnkd.in/dVB9y7wW Thank you, Delaware State News for publishing Dr. Christine Stinton's editorial on the difference changes in state licensure has made in our state when it comes to being able to bring much-needed dentists into our state. La Red has been able to hire two additional dentists and has plans to bring on a third. This is making a huge difference for La Red's patients who are underserved, but it eventually will help all Sussex County residents and Delawareans. #NetDe #HealthDe #DentalCare #Dental #Delaware #CommunityHealth

🌟 Thank You, Senator Sarah McBride! 🌟 La Red Health Center was honored to welcome state Sen. Sarah McBride for a tour of our dental facility this Monday. During her visit, we proudly introduced her to our two new dentists, Dr. Patricia Flecha and Dr. Loraine Cerejido. Both of our new dentists are bilingual and come to La Red from outside the State of Delaware. Thanks to legislation spearheaded by Sen. McBride in 2022, the path for out-of-state dentists to practice in Delaware has become much more accessible. Under this new law, dentists can now obtain community health dental licenses by working at one of the state’s federally qualified health centers for a set number of hours over two years, paving the way for full licensure in Delaware. This legislative milestone has already made a tremendous impact here at La Red. What was once a one-dentist practice serving nearly 3,000 patients now has three dentists, with a fourth on the way! This progress ensures that our patients — and those across the state — have quicker access to essential dental care. Sen. McBride also was generous with her time and sat for a roundtable discussion with our providers to discuss their concerns and the challenges they face providing services to a fast-growing population. #HealthcareForAll #LaRedHealthCenter #Delaware #NetDe #HealthDe

https://lnkd.in/eet7xAW2 🌟 Thank You for Supporting La Red Goes Purple! 💜 A huge thank you to our vendors, partners, and everyone who came out to support the La Red Goes Purple event at our Georgetown Campus! Together, we raised awareness about the impact of opioid addiction and the importance of recovery and prevention in our community. Special thanks to WMDT for covering this event and helping us spread the word. In 2001, Delaware ranked among the top five states for opioid overdose deaths, with Sussex County contributing heavily to these heartbreaking numbers. But with your support, La Red Health Center and our partners are committed to changing the narrative—one life at a time. Together, we are making a difference. 💜 #LaRedGoesPurple #OpioidAwareness #OverdosePrevention #CommunitySupport #Delaware
