Naples - Healthcare Network of Southwest Florida (HCN) has received a $10,000 grant from the Suncoast Credit Union Foundation to support the expansion of its Ronald McDonald Care Mobile program. The Ronald McDonald Care Mobile is a mobile pediatric office that travels to schools and neighborhoods to deliver dental care and medical screenings to the most underserved children in our community while giving them access to continuing care through HCN’s land based dental sites. Since 2004, the Ronald McDonald Care Mobile (RMCM) has provided medical and dental care to more than 32,000 undeserved children in Collier County. The RMCM provides dental screenings and sealants in coordination with Collier County Schools, to first and second grade children in 13 Title One Schools. The program currently serves 13 Title One Schools in Collier County, and the funding from Suncoast Credit Union Foundation HCN will increase the number of children served by adding an additional school for the 2018-2019 school year. CEO Mike Ellis noted that “Our goal is to create a dental home for every child in our community, and often the first point of access is at these school based visits on board the Care Mobile. The support from Suncoast Credit Union Foundation will ensure that we continue to reach as many underserved children in need as possible”.
