Outreach Stories & Patient Testimonials

Wellness on Wheels: Dental Outreach

Mr. Marion Sowders, Superintendent, Casey County Schools

“The dental van provides a wonderful service to our students. If our students are healthy, they will be focused on learning. We are very appreciative of the partnership! Thank you!”

Jennifer Godbey, East Casey County Family Resource Center

“Providing health education and skills-building for children is an investment in a lifetime of good health practices and contributes to a healthier childhood and adult life. The early care and education setting is an optimal place to teach, practice and nurture positive oral health skills and activities. Cumberland Family Medical Center programs such as Mr. Molar have been instrumental in providing these much needed services to our children.”

Parent and teacher statement, Russell County High School

“Perhaps you have seen a large RV parked in front of a local school recently. Perhaps you have heard students talking about the dental bus, or perhaps you have seen a child packing a plastic pouch with toothpaste, a toothbrush, and dental floss. This dental bus is a wonderfully innovative way to bring dental health to children who otherwise may not have access to a dentist. My children have a fabulous dentist, but seen by a dentist while at school is a fantastic, cost effective way to ensure that my kids have their teeth cleaned regularly and checked for cavities. Although I am not present at the time of the treatment, I am given a report on my children's dental health, with any issues highlighted for further treatment at my personal dentist. This service allows my family to keep both my kids' teeth healthy and cavity-free. I encourage all parents to consider allowing your children, no matter how young or old, to have access to the dental bus and the dentists and technicians that serve in this capacity. Good dental health is important for a healthy body, and beginning the habits of dental hygiene early in childhood is a great start. I am thankful for the partnership between the dental bus and Russell County schools -- it is certainly making a positive impact in our community!”

Scrubby Bear & Mr. Molar Outreach

Lori Denton, Guidance Counselor, Second Street School, Frankfort, KY

“Scrubby Bear and Mr. Molar were wonderful at our school! The students really enjoyed them and were really excited to see them come back this year! The presenters did a great job covering the topics in a very thorough and entertaining way to the students.”

Holly Daugherty, McCreary County Preschool. Whitley City, KY

“McCreary County Preschool truly enjoyed the Mr. Molar and Scrubby Bear program offered to us by Cumberland Family Medical Center. We highly recommend that schools and Early Childhood centers invite this program into your school. Our students range in age from 3 to 5 years old, every age student loved this program. I have had several parents comment that their child came home talking non-stop about Mr. Molar and Scrubby Bear as well as being excited about brushing their teeth. The Mr. Molar and Scrubby Bear characters were very kid-friendly and very energetic with the students. The program was very well implemented and very time-friendly to our student’s attention spans. I will definitely make this a yearly program offered to the students of McCreary County Preschool.”

KyNect Outreach

K. Murphy, Casey County, KY

"I am a widow and am on a fixed income. I cannot afford insurance if it was not for the ACA. I tried signing myself up, but was unable to get the application completed, but with the help of CFMC's KyNectors, I now have insurance and can afford to go to the doctor when I need to. The KyNectors were so helpful and any time I have a question I still call her. She even called after I was enrolled to make sure I had received my insurance card. Thank you CFMC for caring about your patients and going above and beyond to make sure they have the best care possible.”

We always leave feeling like we have been well taken care of.”

Jessica, Albany, KY

“Dr. Shirley takes medical care to the next level. She seamlessly balances her excellent bedside manner with her vast medical knowledge. In this day and time, it’s becoming increasingly rare to find this unique combination. Dr. Shirley has successfully built a team of nurses and office staff that is second to none. They work with Dr. Shirley to fill prescriptions promptly, schedule around conflicts and get their patients the best care available. When needed, everyone in her office will go above and beyond including calling pharmacies, consulting with doctors for referrals, and in the midst of sickness she reaches out for follow-ups. In a nutshell, Dr. Shirley treats you like family!”

Dr. Eakle has a great understanding of a broad range of health issues from mental illness to diabetes, to female and male issues, and so on. She recently saved my father’s life by insisting that he see a urologist regarding his PSA. He had prostate cancer. Thanks to Dr. Eakle, it was caught early and successfully removed.

Cumberland Family Medical Center’s partnership with Russell County Schools is an invaluable service to the students and families of Russell County Schools. Not only is Cumberland Family Medical Center helping to meet students’ dental and medical needs, they also provide a much needed relief to working families as parents and guardians have to miss less work to have their child seen by a medical professional. We first saw the benefit of the dental labs, and then the scope of partnership was expanded to include the onsite medical clinics “Healthy Kids Clinics.” Cumberland Family Medical Center is now offering behavioral health services for our students.

Now having birthed two children and about to deliver my third, I’m more than pleased with all of the care I've received from each doctor and staff member. Everyone takes time to meet my specific needs and address my concerns. I wouldn't think of going anywhere else for my care and the commute is well worth the excellent care provided.”

I cannot thank Women’s Care of the Bluegrass enough for helping me and providing great care while I grow my family.”
