$27,000 in Gifts to Purchase Panoramic Dental X-ray Machine Thanks to several grants awarded by area foundations, CP Rochester has acquired all the funds necessary to purchase a $25,000+ panoramic x-ray machine for the Dental Clinic. One major advantage of the panoramic x-ray is its ease-of-use. Unlike traditional x-ray machines where the film is placed inside the patient’s mouth, the panoramic film is contained in a machine which moves around the patient’s head. This is very beneficial since many of the Dental Clinic’s patients have difficulty with traditional x-rays. Grants were provided by l B. Thomas Golisano Foundation – $5,000 l Rochester Area Community Foundation – $10,000 l Davenport-Hatch Foundation – $10,000 l Paychex – $2,000. CP Rochester hopes to have the panoramic x-ray machine in place by late spring.

CP Rochester President Brian Klafehn and Nurse Supervisor Liz Sheen are members of the Steering Committee. Brian and Liz’s workgroup investigated the current state of oral health care for people with developmental disabilities and worked to develop a community survey.
