So, if you care about your smile (or the smiles of those you love), this news is for you!
A Game-Changing Investment in Community Health
EFSC’s dental program has long been a pillar in the community, offering affordable and quality preventive care. Now, the program is ready to scale up by relocating to a larger, state-of-the-art facility—Building 3 on the Cocoa Campus. This expansion not only boosts operational capacity but also brings much-needed upgrades that reflect modern dental practices.
