The Get Marty: UPMC Spotlight is produced with the generous support of UPMC. Life Changing Medicine.
Doctors say your dental care can be the place to catch other health problems before they happen or even before they get worse, but not everyone has access to a dentist. Whether it's a lack of insurance or simply the cost is too great, it's very common for dental care to be placed behind other health priorities. That's why UPMC and the University of Pittsburgh are partnered with A Call to Care as the organization gears up for its big event, the Mission of Mercy Pittsburgh free dental clinic at the David L. Lawrence Convention Center on October 22nd and 23rd.
In the video on this page, Board Chairman Keith Young discusses the clinic, how you can access the free dental care, and how to help them help hundreds of people.
This year more than 1,000 volunteers have signed up to help but they can always use more hands or donations.
