Finding Veteran Patients
One important component of a successful veterans’ dental care program is finding patients in need. You may find veterans in need simply by word of mouth—from other patients, neighbors and friends. However, here are some places to contact that will help you reach veterans in desperate need of dental care:
Illinois Department of Veterans Affairs
VFW (Veterans of Foreign Wars)
Coalition of Veterans Organizations
Illinois Association of County Veterans Assistance Commission
Also, consider contacting:
- Local churches, synagogues and temples
- Local homeless shelters
- Senior centers
- Village, city or town hall
