“This was not a textbook method, the project happened by the nature of the unique local leadership of Corning.”

Community Resources Iowa’s dental care shortage hits home. If you live in rural Iowa, chances are your community is considered a dental health professional shortage area (HPSA). After all, over half of counties in Iowa are federally designated HPSAs, and many more are at risk. Based on data from the Iowa Department of Public Health and the University of Iowa:
With an overall shortage of dentists – and many active dentists facing imminent retirement – it is imperative that rural Iowa communities actively recruit new dentists to serve coming generations. Dentists can take advantage of community outreach efforts with Iowa Area Development Group (IADG) and their sponsoring utilities. IADG can help bring projects together and assist with local funding for FIND Program match and low-interest loans for establishing dental practices.
