HUTCHINSON, Kan. — Grace Bible Church and Dr. Grant Ringler, DDS along with healthcare and service providers from across the community are joining together for Grace Health Day at Ringler's office and at the church on Saturday, Sept. 23. Dr. Ringler had done dentistry events pre-pandemic.
"We started our own 501(c)(3) called Grace Dental Day, Inc. We are thrilled to be offering that again," said Dr. Ringler. "We partnered with Grace Bible Church and with Pastor Josue, because we want it expanded to the community in all other aspects of services."
There will be free screenings for dentistry at Dr. Ringler's office at 3008 Garden Grove Parkway, with triage starting at 7 a.m. Saturday and the screenings at Grace Bible Church, which will include chiropractic, optometry, a basic respiratory assessment, vital signs checks, counseling, sexual health services and even haircuts, will all happen at 1221 East 33rd between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. on Saturday.
"We are thrilled to just reach out the caring hands of Jesus, really and just help people where they are at," Dr. Ringler said. "We understand, everyone has a different life story, a different journey they are on. We're there just to serve and to love on these people and really to treat them with the best of care."
For Pastor Josue Pineda Dale, it's important for those in the Spanish-speaking community to know that this event is for them, too.
"We are also trying to reach out to the Hispanic community living here," Pastor Josue said. "We invite them to come out. Know that it's first come first served basis, there are no prerequisites. We will have translators at every station, both at Grace and at Dr. Ringler's office, so you are welcome to come."
If you would like more information about the event, call the church at (620) 663-4740.
