Announcing the Phil and Karen Hunke Special Care Clinic

Phil and Karen Hunke Special Care Clinic

Improving Access to Special Care

UT Health San Antonio School of Dentistry will meet the needs of people with cognitive and physical disabilities in a beautiful new clinic at the Center for Oral Health Care & Research, designed especially for those with special needs.

This specialty practice will have five rooms for general dental care plus two fully functioning surgical operating rooms.

This unique clinic is the first of its kind in an academic environment in South Texas. While providing excellent oral health care to patients, the practice will offer interdisciplinary educational opportunities for students and residents.

Area dentists can refer patients with physical or cognitive impairments to receive the special care andattention that can be difficult to find.

Opportunities are available to support the Phil and Karen Hunke Special Care Clinic, including gifts of equipment, materials and financial support.

To make a donation in support of the Phil and Karen Hunke Special Care Clinic, please contact Alex Castañeda at castanedam2@uthscsa.edu 210.567-6536.
