Celebrating 25 Years of Smiles: HealthLink’s Legacy of Care Continues

This year marks a major milestone for HealthLink Dental Clinic—25 years of service, compassion, and community impact.

Since opening our doors in 2001, HealthLink has remained committed to a simple but powerful mission: ensuring that low-income adults and U.S. military veterans in Bucks and Montgomery Counties have access to essential dental care, regardless of their ability to pay.

A Look at the Impact

Over the past 25 years, that mission has translated into life-changing results:

• 31,627 patients served

• $13.5 million in dental services provided at no cost

Behind each of these numbers is a person—someone who can now eat without pain, smile with confidence, return to work, or simply feel healthier and more comfortable in their daily life.

A Focused Dental Mission Since 2016

In 2016, HealthLink made the strategic decision to focus exclusively on dental care—allowing us to deepen our impact and respond to one of the most urgent unmet health needs in our community.

Since that transition, HealthLink has provided:

• 15,490 patients served

• 20,653 appointments completed

• $6,200,237 in dental services provided at no cost

This shift has allowed us to expand access, improve efficiency, and strengthen our role as a true dental home for those who would otherwise go without care.

More Than Dental Care

At HealthLink, we know that oral health is deeply connected to overall health and well-being. That’s why our care goes beyond fillings and cleanings. Through programs like Connecting Oral Health & Overall Health, we also provide screenings for conditions such as diabetes and hypertension—often identifying health concerns for patients who may not otherwise have access to care.

Our model is powered by compassion and collaboration, with volunteer dentists, community partners, and supporters all playing a vital role in making this work possible.

Looking Ahead: Expanding Our Impact

As we celebrate 25 years, we’re also looking toward the future. In 2026, HealthLink will launch a Partials & Dentures Program, expanding our ability to restore not just oral health, but dignity, confidence, and quality of life for even more patients.

Join Us: Soirée of Smiles

To commemorate this milestone, we invite you to celebrate with us at our signature anniversary event:

Soirée of Smiles: Celebrating 25 Years of HealthLink 📅 Friday, May 29, 2026 🕠 5:30 PM – 10:00 PM 📍 Normandy Farm, Blue Bell, PA

This special evening will feature dinner, dancing, and a celebration of the incredible community that has made HealthLink’s work possible. We are honored to have Geoff and Gretchen Jackson serving as Honorary Hosts, and we will pay tribute to the legacy and vision of our founder, Eugene Jackson.
