"We're worried about the devastation in one of our neighborhoods," said Dr. David Strange, Chief Dental Officer for Kool Smiles. "While this is only one piece of a larger effort coordinated by the Red Cross, we hope many other organizations will join the relief effort to bring smiles back to this great city."
In recent weeks, many Mississippi communities have been devastated by tornadoes and flooding. Yazoo City was devastated when a tornado carved a 3/4 mile path of destruction through the city on April 25th. Kool Smiles has offered to assist these communities with oral health products. Kool Smiles has five offices in the state with a reputation for high quality care and strong community ties.
Commenting on Kool Smiles' community ties, Senator David Jordan has approached the organization for expansion into the Mississippi Delta. "It would be like a band of angels coming into the Delta," Jordan said during a visit and tour of the North Jackson office.
"We're excited to have a private partner in Kool Smiles who is eager and willing to respond to public needs." said Representative Straughter "We're looking forward to a continued strong response from our partners in Mississippi to help with this natural disaster."
