LAKE
FOREST, Calif., June 27,
2022 /PRNewswire/ -- BIOLASE, Inc. (NASDAQ:
BIOL), the global leader in dental lasers, announced today that it
has partnered with Project HOME, an organization that provides
dental services to patients from their first birthday to adulthood.
Project HOME's Healthcare Services is a Federally Qualified Health
Center (FQHC) and supports health care services, regardless of
a person's ability to pay for the services, in
Philadelphia.
The mission of Project HOME is to empower adults, children, and
families to break the cycle of homelessness and poverty, alleviate
the underlying causes of poverty, and enable individuals to attain
their fullest potential as individuals and as members of the
broader society. Project HOME strives to create a safe and
respectful environment to support individuals struggling with
self-esteem, recovery, confidence, as well as mental and physical
health.
Project HOME's dental services are part of a patient-centered,
integrated health care service model, where many dental patients
are also primary care patients. This allows medical issues that may
impact oral health to be identified early
and for treatment to begin to improve the patients'
overall well-being.
During a ride-along with the BIOLASE team in Philadelphia, BIOLASE's President and Chief
Executive Officer, John Beaver, was
invited to visit Project HOME to see how the company
could assist people in need. "At BIOLASE, our goal is to
develop dental laser technology that provides a higher standard of
care to the patient and improves patients' oral health," said
Beaver. "Supporting Project HOME in their mission gives BIOLASE an
opportunity to make a meaningful contribution to the overall health
of the community."
"It is a great honor that BIOLASE has partnered with Project
HOME to help provide dental care to our members. With the donation
of an iPlus Waterlase laser system and the training program offered
to our doctors and staff at Project HOME's dental facility in
Philadelphia, the modern
technology offered by BIOLASE will help provide a new standard of
care for Project HOME members," commented Dr. Janine Burkhardt, Project HOME's Dental
Director. "Improving the already excellent care each member
receives, while assisting the doctors to complete more
treatments in one visit, will have a significant impact on our
ability to achieve our mission and improve our members' oral health
outcomes."
