(MADISON, Wis.) – Affordable Dental Care (ADC) of Madison will soon continue its mission to increase access to oral healthcare in a new space. The non-profit is hosting a groundbreaking ceremony for its new clinic from 3-4 p.m. Thursday, June 27 at 1709 Aberg Ave.
The ceremony will include remarks from supporters and community leaders including Deputy Mayor Dr. Linda Vakunta, Shannon Semmerling of Delta Dental of Wisconsin, Alder Amani Latimer Burris, Charles Tubbs of Dane County Emergency Management and Paula Tran of Wisconsin Department of Health Services.
Mexican snacks and ice cream from local vendors will be served.
“Thanks to generous contributions by the community, we can break ground on our larger clinic,” Affordable Dental Care Executive Director Areli Estrada said. “This space will not only fill a void for dental care on the northside of Madison but also increase health equity in the greater Madison area.”
The clinic will feature eight treatment rooms, a conference room, a larger break room space, individual employee office space, a kid’s area and more lab and sterilization space. It will be able to serve around 5,000 patients per year.
The approximately 4,000-square-foot clinic was designed by Plunkett Raysich Architects and will be built by Advanced Building Corporation. The commercial space was secured by Plato Real Estate and is owned by Alexander Company.
