Our Commitment to Community and Global Outreach
At Robison Family Dental we feel strongly that it takes a village of people to support individuals in our communities both locally and globally. We dedicate this space in our website to all those that share that same spirit of humanitarianism. Our hope is that as we share stories of connection, ventures of hope, that it will ignite in all of us the desire to seek out those within our reach.
Where It All Began
In 2003 as a dental student, I was introduced to what would become the G3 Foundation. Born from a very small group of dental students with the desire to bring oral health services to the people of the Dominican Republic, this foundation has continued its outreach for over 20 years.
During one of those early trips as a dental student, I had an experience in a small church in La Vega, D.R. that not only broadened my perspective as a dentist but more so as a human being. I had this overwhelming feeling of specific direction to “lift up the hands that hang low and strengthen the feeble knees.” From that experience and the help of wonderful people, I have been so fortunate to participate in many projects over the years.
Another Reason to Continue
In 2022, I was introduced to the Smiles for Life Foundation and joined their mission to Guatemala. Upon our arrival to a small Mayan village, we were met with the most touching reception of cultural music and dance—but most importantly love. Although they sang their national anthem to us and invited us to sing ours, we felt the borders between nations disappear along with our composure to fight back tears.
The needs in this area were greater than any that I had seen over the previous 20 years, and we found it difficult to control our emotions as we attempted to see each person.
I am grateful a friend captured that feeling in the picture above during one of those very moments. It is a reminder to me of the very reason to continue in these projects.
Moving Forward with Purpose
As we look to the future, Robison Family Dental remains committed to our mission of service. Each endeavor, every individual we assist, fuels our determination to continue this vital work.
Our global outreach is not just an extension of our practice; it is the heart of what we do. We invite you to join us in this fulfilling journey. Together, we can create ripples of change that will resonate for generations to come. Let’s keep the mission alive and the smiles glowing, no matter where in the world we may find ourselves.
