Special Health Resources has got a grant for $400,000 per year for the coming five years to help people with HIV or AIDS to get improved access to health care.
For the next five years, the grant would provide specialized dental care to people with HIV in a 23-county area in Northeast Texas.
"This grant would be able to provide ... more detailed dental services for HIV positive people in our region. We were having to take people to Baylor in Dallas, but now we would be able to have these procedures performed here," said Joey Pack, regional coordinator for Special Health Resources in Texarkana. "It would save a lot of time and money. Our clients don't desire to have to take a six-hour round trip from Texarkana. Instead of having to take our clients to Dallas, Dallas would also be coming here."
This funding would enable more dental services to be provided locally, which would eradicate the current waiting list, according to a press release from Special Health Resources.
