Rural Health Group Dental at Jackson

Rural Health Group Dental at Jackson is a key component of the Rural Health Group, Inc. (RHG), an established non-profit organization founded in 1974. RHG grew out of a community-driven initiative to provide accessible and affordable healthcare services to individuals in Northeastern North Carolina, particularly emphasizing support for underserved populations. As a Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC), the Rural Health Group is committed to offering high-quality, comprehensive primary healthcare, dental, and mental health/substance abuse services across all age groups. The Jackson dental clinic specifically focuses on general dentistry for all ages. Their mission is rooted in offering culturally sensitive, respectful, and compassionate care, aiming to create a Patient-Centered Medical and Dental Home for their patients. They are actively involved in community health initiatives, including the "School-Based Oral Health Initiative," which expands dental clinics and educational programs to public schools and Head Start centers to prevent oral health problems early in life. This commitment reflects RHG's belief in the critical link between oral health and overall well-being, striving to prevent lifelong dental diseases prevalent in rural communities. Rural Health Group Dental at Jackson operates with a sliding fee scale based on income and family size to ensure services are accessible regardless of financial status. The organization also maintains several other medical and dental offices across the region, demonstrating a broad commitment to improving health outcomes in rural North Carolina.
