Parker Health Center Benefits from White Smiles
LINCROFT – Dr. Mitchel Friedman of Newman Springs Dental Care believes that having a whiter smile can do more than make you look better; it can help sick and disadvantaged children get needed health care.
Dr. Eugene Cheslock and Dr. Roy Carman accepted the check from Friedman at a recent trustees meeting for the Parker Family Heather Center in Red Bank. Friedman is a volunteer dentist at the health center.
Friedman, his staff and patients together raised $4,852 by whitening the donor’s smiles. The donation was shared equally between St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital and Parker Family Health Center. SmilesForLife.org is a charity organization that raises funds for the benefit of children.
