FAQ to H.E.C.K<\/strong><\/span><\/h6>\n
WHAT SERVICES DO WE PROVIDE?<\/strong><\/span><\/h6>\n

\"Healthy<\/p>\n

We will provide emergency dental care to individuals experiencing pain and\/or infection and who cannot afford treatment in a private clinic.<\/p>\n

\n
DO I QUALIFY?<\/span><\/h6>\n

Referrals for qualified clients can be obtained at agencies such as the Salvation Army Food Bank<\/a> and the Ooknakane Friendship Center<\/a>. We also see patients referred by agencies such as the Brain Injury Society<\/a>, Mental Health, Walk-in and Emergency Centers, Dentists, Doctors, Victim\u2019s Assistance and many other agencies who work with marginalized populations within the South Okanagan. Referrals are received by email, fax and phone.  <\/p>\n

Clients using the Henning Emergency Clinic of Kindness must meet three criteria<\/strong>: they cannot already have a dentist; they must be in pain or have an infection; and they must show evidence of being on a low or fixed income.<\/p>\n

NOTE: ALL PATIENTS MUST FILL OUT A MEDICAL ALERT FORM PRIOR TO TREATMENT
\nA copy of your Tax Assessment and your BC Care Card will be required when filling out forms.<\/p>\n

We do our best effort to keep our services on a schedule, but we cannot predict how long each client will require as their appointment is often the first time we see them.  Typically, we assess and do as much work as we can on that very day. Appointments are scheduled as first come, first served.  If we know the client ahead of you will require more time, we will tell you, so that you are not waiting for lengthy periods.  Second and follow-up appointments are also made, if possible. Thank you for being patient which waiting for your appointment.<\/p>\n
