EXPANDING DENTAL CARE FOR LOW-INCOME, MEDICALLY UNDERSERVED VIRGINIANS - THIS PROJECT WILL SUPPORT THE RENOVATION AND EXPANSION OF CROSSOVER'S CHARITABLE HEALTHCARE CLINIC AT 8600 QUIOCCASIN ROAD, RICHMOND, VA 23229. CROSSOVER PURCHASED THIS 23,031-SQUARE-FOOT, TWO-STORY BUILDING, CONSTRUCTED IN 1971, AND OPERATES IT AS A CLINIC PROVIDING MEDICAL AND DENTAL CARE TO MORE THAN 7,000 UNINSURED AND UNDERINSURED PATIENTS IN CENTRAL VIRGINIA. THE FULL PHASED CAPITAL PROJECT INCLUDES HVAC, ELECTRICAL, PLUMBING, FIRE SUPPRESSION, ENERGY-EFFICIENT WINDOWS, ROOF REPLACEMENT, ELEVATOR INSTALLATION, AND AFFIXED AND MOVEABLE EQUIPMENT. THIS REQUESTED FUNDING SUPPORTS PHASE 4 OF THE RENOVATION AND EXPANSION OF CROSSOVER’S 1,900-SQUARE-FOOT DENTAL CLINIC. THIS FINAL PHASE WILL CONSTRUCT AND OUTFIT TWO ADDITIONAL DENTAL EXAM ROOMS, RENOVATE AND RE-EQUIP THE EXISTING SIX DENTAL EXAM ROOMS, UPGRADE THE STERILIZATION ROOM, COMPRESSOR, AND PUMPS, AND SUPPORT THE TRANSITION TO PORTABLE X-RAY MACHINES THROUGH A DEDICATED CHARGING AREA. FUNDS WILL SUPPORT CONSTRUCTION AND THE PURCHASE AND INSTALL THE AFFIXED AND MOVEABLE DENTAL EQUIPMENT NEEDED TO MAKE THE EXPANDED CLINIC FULLY OPERATIONAL. THE NEED FOR EXPANDED DENTAL CAPACITY IS URGENT. CROSSOVER SERVES MORE THAN 7,000 LOW-INCOME PATIENTS ANNUALLY, YET FEWER THAN 30% CAN ACCESS DENTAL CARE IN THE CLINIC BECAUSE OF CAPACITY CONSTRAINTS. WITHIN THREE YEARS OF COMPLETING PHASE 4, CROSSOVER EXPECTS TO OPERATE EIGHT FULLY EQUIPPED DENTAL EXAM ROOMS, SERVE APPROXIMATELY 2,250 DENTAL PATIENTS ANNUALLY, AND PROVIDE MORE THAN 6,500 DENTAL VISITS EACH YEAR THIS PROJECT REFLECTS STRONG COMMUNITY COMMITMENT AND READINESS. FUNDING FOR THE BUILDING PURCHASE AND EARLIER PHASES OF CONSTRUCTION HAS BEEN SECURED THROUGH A CAPITAL CAMPAIGN THAT HAS RAISED MORE THAN $9 MILLION FROM OVER 200 INDIVIDUAL DONORS, LOCAL FOUNDATIONS, CHURCHES, CORPORATE PARTNERS, AND LOCAL GOVERNMENT. THERE IS NO OTHER STATE OR FEDERAL GRANT FUNDING FOR THIS PROJECT AT THIS TIME.
