FLA-MOM 2022 Recap

This March, more than 1,300 volunteers from across the state participated in the seventh Florida Mission of Mercy (FLA-MOM), presented by the FDA Foundation. FLA-MOM is a large-scale, two-day, professional dental clinic that provides care to any patient at no cost to them, with the goal of serving the underserved and uninsured in Florida. FLA-MOM seeks to have a positive impact on those who attend by relieving dental pain and infection, restoring smiles and dignity, and educating patients about the importance of obtaining and maintaining optimal oral health. Held March 11-12 at the Donald L. Tucker Civic Center in Tallahassee, the 2022 FLA-MOM safely provided 9,493 procedures to 1,375 patients — resulting in $1.79 million in donated care! Thank you to all our volunteers and benefactors who helped make the event a success! Please visit flamom.org to get information about the 2023 FLA-MOM taking place in West Palm Beach Feb. 24-25.
