January 17, 2020 by Laurel Ciohon

The Door County Community Foundation has awarded the Door County Medical Center a Sustainability Grant from the Ruth & Hartley Barker Memorial Fund and the John and Nell Herlache Community Impact Fund. This grant supports the Door County Medical Center Dental Clinic.

The Door County Medical Center Dental Clinic provides oral health care to the youth and adults of Door and Kewaunee Counties. The clinic serves those who are on Medicaid and/or those with no dental insurance that are low-income with no dental home.

“The Dental Clinic is the only clinic in a two-county area that provides care to those on medical assistance, those that are disabled, and those that are low income,” said Mark Jinkins, board member of the Door County Community Foundation. “The Community Foundation is pleased to provide this grant which will help cover the costs of providing care to uninsured children and adults in our community.

Founded in 1975 Door County Medical Center Dental Clinic provides oral health care to the youth and adults of Door and Kewaunee Counties. The clinic serves those who are on Medicaid and/or those with no dental insurance that are low-income with no dental home.

The Door County Community Foundation has awarded Sturgeon Bay School District a sustainability grant from the Ruth and Hartley Barker Memorial Fund, the Children and Youth Fund, and Arts Endowment Fund. This grant supports a visit from children’s book author and illustrator, Nathan Hale. 

Nathan Hale will spend time at each of the five Door County school districts to give presentations to students. Additionally, the school districts are partnering with the Door County Reading Council to offer one evening workshop presentation with Nathan Hale for families and community members. 

“In his school talks, students will have the opportunity to ask Hale questions, learn about how he writes and illustrates his books, and maybe even try some writing of their own,” said Kacie Mueller, Community Relations Officer of the Door County Community Foundation. “Getting these children excited about the writing process at a young age sets them up to enjoy reading and writing for a lifetime. We are pleased to contribute to that fundamental joy.”
