Medical & Dental Services

A Clinic Built for This Community

Food & Care Coalition operates an on-site free dental clinic and primary care partnership — providing dental and medical services to Utah County's most vulnerable neighbors since 2005.

On-Site Health Care

Care Where It's Needed Most

Our dental clinic provides cleanings, fillings, and extractions at no cost to qualifying neighbors — staffed by Dr. David Blackhurst and volunteer practitioners who donate their time 4–6 days per month. Utah Valley University dental hygiene students train on-site, gaining real-world clinical experience while serving the community.

Through a partnership with Mountainlands Community Health Center, qualifying patrons also have access to on-site primary care through the Patient-Centered Medical Home (PCMH) program — bringing medical care directly to people who need it most.
