TARGET POPULATION ARE WOEFULLY INADEQUATE TO MEET THE NEEDS OF THE SERVICE AREA. IN ADDITION TO THIS UNMET NEED FOR DENTAL SERVICES, THE STATE’S ALBEMARLE REGION LOCATED IN THE GATESVILLE, NORTH CAROLINA SERVICE AREA IS A TARGET OF VIOLENT STORMS THAT FREQUENTLY DESTROY LIVES AND PROPERTY. GATEWAY PROPOSES TO USE CARES ACT FUNDING TO AMPLIFY DENTAL SERVICES AT THE HEALTH CENTER’S MAIN SITE IN GATES COUNTY AND TO TAMP DOWN THE ONSLAUGHT OF THE CENTER’S VULNERABILITY TO VIOLENT WEATHER EVENTS. THERE ARE NO FQHCS THAT PROVIDE ORAL HEALTH CARE SERVICES IN THE ALBEMARLE REGION. THOUSANDS OF RESIDENTS THAT LIVE IN THE FAR MOST NORTHEASTERN COUNTIES OF NORTH CAROLINA ARE LEFT TO SEEK SERVICES IN OTHER LOCATIONS. MANY ARE FORCED TO CROSS THE STATE LINE INTO THE NORFOLK AREA IN SOUTHEASTERN VIRGINIA. GATEWAY BOARD OF DIRECTORS HAVE DETERMINED THIS DEFICIENCY TO BE UNACCEPTABLE, AND THEY HAVE APPROVED THE SUBMISSION OF AN APPLICATION TO PERFORM ALTERATIONS WITHOUT INCREASING SQUARE FOOTAGE OF THE FACILITY. THE PROJECT IS SITE SPECIFIC AND A\R WILL ONLY TAKE PLACE AT 501 MAIN STREET, GATESVILLE, NORTH CAROLINA. THE GATESVILLE SERVICE AREA, WHICH HAS A POPULATION OF SOME 80,000, IS COMPRISED OF SEVEN COUNTIES INCLUDING CAMDEN, CHOWAN, CURRITUCK, GATES, HERTFORD, PERQUIMANS, AND PASQUOTANK COUNTIES. THE PLANNED ACTIVITIES INCLUDE IMPROVING AND\OR RECONFIGURING THE INTERIOR ARRANGEMENTS OF THE GATESVILLE SITE, AFFIXING THE EQUIPMENT TO THE FLOOR AND WALLS ; AND IMPROVING THE ACCESSIBILITY FOR PATIENTS. THE PROJECT WILL INCLUDE EQUIPMENT PURCHASES AND RELATED SUPPLIES AND SERVICES THAT ARE COMMENSURATE WITH DENTAL HEALTH. GATEWAY CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT ACTIVITIES ALSO ARE NEEDED TO INCREASE THE CENTER’S CAPACITY AND CAPABILITY TO PREPARE FOR, RESPOND TO AND/OR RECOVER FROM FUTURE EMERGENCIES AND/OR DISASTERS THAT WILL SUPPORT THE CONTINUITY OF ACCESS TO HIGH QUALITY PRIMARY CARE SERVICES FOR UNDERSERVED POPULATIONS.
