Woods Services, a nonprofit organization that serves children and adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities and acquired brain injuries, and the University of Pennsylvania School of Dental Medicine, one of the leading dental schools in the country, cut the ribbon on Penn Dental Medicine at Woods, Mikey Faulkner Dental Care Center last week.
The state-of-the-art dental care center on Woods’ Langhorne campus, 10 Meadowood Drive, will provide enhanced and leading-edge dental treatment for Woods clients and residents. Starting in March, services will expand to include the surrounding disability community, including former clients and residents of Woods who are still in need of care.
In addition to meeting the dental care needs of individuals and families, Penn Dental Medicine at Woods, Mikey Faulkner Dental Care Center is helping prepare the next generation of dentists to care for patients with disabilities. The center boasts five operatories, a reception area and conference room.
“The Medical Center at Woods serves as a national model for providing comprehensive, coordinated personalized care for people with complex diagnoses and medical conditions, like Mikey Faulkner, current Woods client and the center’s namesake,” said Tine Hansen-Turton, Woods president and CEO. “The opening of Penn Dental Medicine at Woods, Mikey Faulkner Dental Care Center continues Woods’ commitment to providing an integrated healthcare experience for our clients — an approach that optimizes outcomes for individuals.”
