Community Healthnet Dental Office
2120A East 10th Street
464-0307
Situated in the John E. Horan Garden Apartments, the dental office is a joint venture between the Housing Authority of the City of Erie and Community Health Net.
The facility was renovated by the Housing Authority; the dental equipment and professional staffing is provided by Community Health Net, a non-profit medical services agency that provides a full range of medical services to low-income patients.
The new dental office provides one full-time dentist, one full-time hygienist and two dental assistants.
The dental office is located in the Housing Authority’s largest family development. There are about 1,000 residents at the John E. Horan Garden Apartments, including about 400 children under the age of seven.
The Dental Office was opened to provide the one area of health care for low-income families that typically gets the least attention – dental care. Poor dental care leads to other health issues that can be serious. Dental health is an indicator of medical health and is tied to a person’s quality of life
