University of Vermont Medical Center and Hudson Headwaters Health Network have partnered to bring more dental residents to northern New York in an expansion of the Medical Center’s Dental Residency Program. Leaders from both organizations say the new partnership will increase access to preventive dental care and improve recruitment of dentists in rural communities across the Adirondacks.
The partnership between the two not-for-profits, UVM Medical Center and Hudson Headwaters – a Federally Qualified Health Center – adds Hudson Headwaters’ Warrensburg dental center to the training sites at which resident dentists practice during their rotation in the residency program. It is the program’s first New York state-based training site.
“We’re excited to expand and to be able to offer our residents more experiences providing dental care and services,” said Justin Hurlburt, DMD, MA, program director of UVM Medical Center’s Dental Residency Program. “Having a training site at Hudson Headwaters means our residents will have the opportunity to provide different care and treatment and, as a result, help even more people.”
