You will still be able to find affordable dental care in Door County if you are uninsured or underinsured, but it will be under a different banner beginning January 1st. Door County Medical Center announced Wednesday its plans to transition its dental clinic to N.E.W. Community Clinic. The Green Bay-based organization serves a similar clientele at four locations, including two dental clinics. N.E.W. Community Clinic also recently launched a mobile unit to expand its services further into northeast Wisconsin. It is a bittersweet moment for Door County Medical Center President and CEO Brian Stephens, but he says it is in the best interest of the patients they have served.
If you are a patient at the Door County Medical Center Dental Clinic, you do not have to worry. Patients will automatically become a part of the N.E.W. Community Clinic roster and will still receive care from the current dental team staff and providers at the Sturgeon Bay facility. The transition will also allow Door County residents to access some of N.E.W. Community Clinic's physical and behavioral health support services, which address a major need in the area.
