ACORN Volunteers

ACORN Clinic is able to provide high quality health and dental care at low costs due in large part to the exceptional medical and dental community of Gainesville and outlying areas. Members of this extraordinary community regularly volunteer their time to help the disadvantaged rural residents of North Central Florida.

In their own words:

"During my years in dental school I spent a great deal of time at the ACORN Clinic. The atmosphere is wonderful, the staff very helpful and best of all the patients very grateful. Since graduating dental school I volunteer on Fridays as often as I can. I feel I've been given a gift to help people and this is an extremely fulfilling way for me to give back to a community that has supported me in my private practice. I feel blessed that I can use my skills to help those who could not afford dental care otherwise." - Dr. Sheryl Ely, DMD -
