Ronald McDonald Care Mobile® Program

For children without access to regular dental care, the lack of preventative measures and untreated cavities can lead to a variety of oral diseases. The Ronald McDonald Care Mobile® Program – dental offices on wheels – offer a solution by caring for thousands of Southwest Florida children in underserved communities each year.

Through philanthropic support and our partnership with Family Health Centers of Southwest Florida and Healthcare Network, we have not one but two Care Mobiles to serve Lee, Hendry, and Collier Counties. In fact, of the 40 total Ronald McDonald Care Mobiles in the world, we are very proud that we have the only two in Florida to serve our communities.
