PACE-RI’s new $7.8 million center, which is double the size of its current center in Providence, is on track to open in East Providence in June 2021. A capital campaign seeking to raise $1 million to go toward work on the new building continues.
Access to dental services just for older patients will be a significant benefit for PACE’s members, all of whom are 55 or older, said Joan Kwiatkowski, CEO of PACE-RI.
“Having an on-site dental operatory has been on our wish list for a while and we are thrilled it will become a reality. We are very grateful to Delta Dental for their support and excited about the growing momentum and reach of our capital campaign,” Kwiatkowski said.
