On Monday, our volunteer dental surgeon Dr. Patrick Noble and our Director of Oral Health Joanne Puente set a new record for our extraction program — removing 22 teeth from four patients in a single day. This is the highest number since we launched the program in 2024.

Why does this matter? For many of our patients, untreated dental issues mean daily pain, difficulty eating, and serious health risks. Extractions are often the only option when cavities, infections, and damage have gone untreated for too long because of cost barriers or lack of access to regular dental care.

We are incredibly grateful to Dr. Noble, Joanne, and our whole dental team for giving patients relief, dignity, and a healthier future.

Many of you have asked us, “How does PHWC make a difference in Central Vermont?”

We hear you—and we want to be transparent about the incredible work our clinic does every month.

Starting this month, we’ll be sharing our monthly patient data publicly! This will give you a clear picture of the lives we touch, the care we provide, and the growing needs in our community.

From medical visits to dental care, wellness support, and more, these numbers reflect the huge impact of your support—and why our work is more important than ever as federal healthcare changes begin affecting Vermonters.

Stay tuned each month for updates, and thank you for helping us keep our neighbors healthy, cared for, and supported. Click through for the whole image.

Update: Success! Thank you, Debbie!

Community help needed!

We have an unhoused patient who relies on a small radio for comfort and connection — but it’s out of power. We’re looking for a donation of eight C-size batteries to get it running again.

If you can spare a pack, please drop it off at the People’s Health & Wellness Clinic in Barre during our open hours. Your kindness will make a big difference in someone’s day.

Thank you for supporting our neighbors in need!
