Operation Stand Down

Veterans are invited to a free dental screening sponsored by La Porte Hospital Foundation, Healthcare Foundation of La Porte, and La Porte County Dentists. The event will be Saturday, November 5, 2016 from 8 a.m.-1 p.m. at the office of David Porter, DDS, 1112 Indiana Avenue in La Porte. This event is presented by Daniel Fridh, DDS and participating La Porte County Dentists. Schedule your appointment by calling 219.362.5205 and reference Operation Stand Down. The free screening is offered to veterans: living in La Porte County, without a dentist, without dental insurance & limited ability to apy. Veterans will need to bring the following items to the appointment: discharge papers (DD214), and driver's license or valid state ID. The dental screen includes an exam and X-ray. No treatments will be performed on-site the day of the screening. If follow-up treatment is needed, the veteran will be referred to a dentist in La Porte County, who will do a cleaning, fillings and extractions, if needed, at no cost.
