Minnesota Connections Academy Chapter

The Chatfield chapter serves rural and low-income areas in Fillmore, Olmsted, Spring Valley, and parts of Rochester. It distributes dental hygiene kits to schools, shelters, and food pantries, while providing education on preventive care. Partnering with school nurses, community colleges, and local nonprofits, the chapter addresses barriers like transportation and limited clinic availability. Its initiatives enhance access, boost confidence, and reinforce long-term oral health habits in underserved communities.
