San Juan County Health & Community Services (HCS) has announced the 2026 schedule for Community Dental Clinics on Lopez, Orcas, and San Juan Islands. These clinics provide dental care to residents on Medicaid or those without insurance who cannot afford treatment.
Appointments are available through an online application. Applicants will be contacted directly for scheduling. Those who do not receive a call will remain on the waitlist for future clinic dates, as demand continues to exceed available appointment slots.
HCS is partnering with DentALL to operate the clinics, with a Spanish-speaking team member present at each location.
