No-Ruz Grotto, M.O.V.P.E.R.
|
Our membership has diligently
labored to provide the necessary funds toward improvement in the oral health status of
these special needs children. For reasons beyond their control they are too often
excluded from the mainstream of dental care.
The GROTTOES of North America offer this service to the physically and
mentally challenged children who are afflicted with: |
|
Cerebral Palsy
Myasthenia Gravis
Muscular Dystrophy
Mental Retardation |
This service is rendered free of
charge to any child under the age of 18 regardless of race, creed or color. The only
pre-requisite is that the child must be sponsored by a local GROTTO. We
do not cover children covered by Medicaid/Medical card nor any type of orthodontics or
re-constructive jaw surgeries. All other dental needs can be pre authorized for
payment to the local dentist and or hospital.
When the program began it was set through Illinois Masonic Medical Center in Chicago,
Illinois. In 1988 Medical College of Ohio was a second regional hospital set to care
for patients that could not seek help locally and needed hospitalization. When the
patient is capable of some cooperation with the dentist the service can be rendered
locally. The Humanitarian Foundation has made this possible through a unique
partnership with qualified dentists throughout the country. the parents of the child
select their own dentist and or hospital, which enable the program through the local Grotto
to provide dental care to more children. |
