Ten SFU students volunteered with MOM-n-PA, the Pennsylvania Dental Mission of Mercy, held at Mohegan Sun Arena in Wilkes-Barre. Students improved hundreds of lives as they worked alongside nearly a thousand dental professionals, support personnel, and lay volunteers. Services were provided to patients who either lack dental insurance or are under-insured; many have been living with severe dental pain for months or years before coming to the clinic, affecting their ability to eat, work, and care for themselves and their families.
