Smiles That Gives Back: How One Dental Practice is Reshaping Community Care

Foundation Dental Specialists injects $10,000 into local charities, proving that oral health and social responsibility go hand in hand
Published on Aug 2, 2024

Foundation Dental Specialists has decided to put their money where their patients’ mouths are. The group of dental specialists is making headlines with their commitment to social responsibility.

The dental specialist team, led by Drs. Weightman, Charles, Lee, Lim, Partin, and Park (and recently retired Dr. Morishita) has taken a bite out of local issues by donating a total of $10,000 to two organizations that couldn’t be more different on the surface.

Yet, both the East Los Angeles Women’s Center and the Pasadena Humane Society share a common thread – they represent the heart and soul of a community that Foundation Dental Specialists calls home.

This act of generosity isn’t just about writing checks; it’s a reflection of a deeper philosophy that permeates the practice. As one team member put it, “Our success is made possible by the trust of our community.” 

Foundation Dental Specialists has donated $5,000 each to the East Los Angeles Women’s Center and the Pasadena Humane Society. The donations aim to support women’s empowerment and animal welfare in the Los Angeles area.

The East Los Angeles Women’s Center will use the funds for its programs supporting survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault. These programs include counseling, shelter services, and educational initiatives that empower women in the community.

Similarly, the Pasadena Humane Society will apply the donation to its animal rescue, rehabilitation, and rehoming efforts. The funds will also support veterinary care and community education programs focused on animal welfare.

The dental practice’s team members have a personal connection to animal welfare, with many having rescued pets themselves. This personal investment in animal care influenced their decision to support the Pasadena Humane Society.

Foundation Dental Specialists views these donations as part of its ongoing commitment to community involvement. The practice has a history of supporting local organizations beyond providing dental services.

The dental team continues to seek opportunities to make a positive impact in the Los Angeles area. Their actions demonstrate a belief that business success and community support are interconnected.

These donations reflect Foundation Dental Specialists’ recognition that their success is rooted in community trust. By giving back, they aim to strengthen that trust and contribute to the well-being of their community.
