Those who wish to use the dental van’s services must be current patients of the Free Clinic, according to Babs Zuhowski, the clinic’s associate director of development and marketing.
The dental van will remain parked in the lot adjacent to the Gloucester Library at Main Street Center and will initially only be open on Fridays, she said.
Zuhowski said grant monies were provided by the Gloucester Community Foundation, Bernardine Franciscan Sisters Foundation, Gloucester County and the Williamsburg Community Health Foundation.
For more information on the dental van, call the GMFC dental associate at 824-6013.
