OSCEOLA, IA (July 15, 2022) – Infinity Health is pleased to announce it has been awarded $99,999 in grants to expand oral health services in Osceola, Clarke County, Iowa.

“Our community is in great need of access to dental services,” stated Samantha Cannon, CEO. “The oral health services expansion will allow us to serve approximately 500 more dental patients in Clarke County.”

Infinity Health was awarded $49,999 in grant funding from Delta Dental of Iowa Foundation and $50,000 from Clarke County Development Corporation’s (CCDC) PILLARS Granting Program for the one-time purchase and installation of dental equipment. The equipment will be used to expand oral health services in Osceola from two operatories to three. Additionally, the current equipment in the Osceola dental clinic will be utilized in a new Mount Ayr, Iowa dental clinic after the Osceola equipment installation. The transfer of equipment will result in providing oral health care access to more patients in Ringgold County.

“We love our community and are grateful to Delta Dental of Iowa Foundation and Clarke County Development Corporation for awarding us the grants to provide oral health services to our communities” expressed Cannon.
