Detailed Introduction
Servolution Dental Clinic operates as a vital part of Servolution Health Services, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization established in Speedwell, Tennessee. Founded as a faith-based initiative, its core mission is to provide holistic health, dental, and mental health care services to the community, regardless of a patient's ability to pay or religious affiliation.
The dental clinic offers a comprehensive range of services for both adults and children, including but not limited to emergency treatment, extractions, cleanings, X-rays, fillings, restorative care, and some prosthodontics (dentures and partials). They serve uninsured community members, particularly those living below 200% of the poverty level, requiring eligibility screening for their low-cost and sliding fee scale services. Since becoming a designated Rural Health Clinic in November 2017, Servolution Health Services, including its dental arm, can also accept various insurance plans, including TennCare, allowing them to serve a broader patient base and utilize insurance reimbursements to fund care for those without coverage.
Beyond dental care, Servolution Health Services provides a wide array of integrated services, reflecting its holistic approach to wellness. This includes general medical services, prevention and wellness programs, immunizations, work/school/travel exams, and DOT physicals. They also have a "Path to Peace Wellness Center" with fitness facilities, personal training, and nutrition counseling. Furthermore, they operate a thrift store and food pantry to address the physical needs of the community, including a backpack food program for children and a summer feeding program.
The organization relies on a combination of private gifts from individuals, businesses, churches, and various grants, including from foundations like Smile180 Foundation and the National Association of Free and Charitable Clinics. They also leverage a dedicated team of staff and volunteers, including professionals and students from institutions like Lincoln Memorial University, to extend their reach and provide quality care in a rural area where access to healthcare can be challenging. Servolution Health Services and its dental clinic are deeply embedded in the Speedwell community, aiming to improve overall health and well-being for all.
