Under the direction of Chairman Steven Quarcoo DDS and Attending Dentist Bijan Anvar DDS, Flushing Hospital Medical Center’s Dental Department hosted a Veterans Smile Day on Friday, November 8, 2019.
The purpose of the event was to provide free dental exams, x-rays, and cleanings to our veterans. It was the hospital’s way of thanking the men and women of our military for their service.
As part of Flushing Hospital’s community outreach, various Veteran and American Legion groups were contacted and invited to have their members participate. The hospital also invited veterans who are currently living in homeless shelters throughout the borough of Queens to participate.
“This is a great way to give back to those who fought for the freedom we enjoy,” stated Dr. Anvar.
Flushing Hospital would like to thank all the dental department staff, residents and technicians who volunteered their time for this worthy cause.
