Evansville Christian Health Clinic Celebrates 20th Anniversary of Dental Blitzes for Our Neighbors
On November 22nd, Evansville Christian Health Clinic, formerly Impact Ministries, will proudly celebrate two decades of service, transforming lives in our community through its Dental Blitz program. The 20th-anniversary event will be held on November 22nd and will feature a special hymn performance by Gina Moore, along with a tribute to key individuals who have been instrumental in the program’s success, including Dr. John Anoskey, a dedicated advocate for compassionate dental care in Evansville.
For over 20 years, Dr. Anoskey has led this initiative, offering emergency dental extractions to low-income individuals and families in Evansville. In 2005, Dr. Anoskey and Impact Ministries organized the first one-day Dental Blitz, focused exclusively on emergency extractions, what he calls his “mission work” at home. Thanks to the generosity of local volunteer dentists, on a monthly basis we are serving about 40 patients a Blitz, and just since 2020 our team has extracted 1,416 teeth. The Dental Blitz has brought critical relief to thousands who lack access to traditional dental care, restoring health and hope to countless lives in our community. Since its inception, and under the new name Evansville Christian Health Clinic, the initiative has become a vital part of our mission to serve our neighbors with accessible healthcare.
“We are honored to continue this essential service alongside so many wonderful volunteer dentists and dental professionals since absorbing the clinic in 2016,” says Katie Grunow, Executive Director of the Evansville Christian Life Center. “The Dental Blitz has become a beacon of hope and healing, demonstrating what a caring community can accomplish together.”
Evansville Christian Health Clinic offers not only dental care but also essential pregnancy and medical services, reinforcing our commitment to comprehensive healthcare for the underserved. The November 22nd celebration will be an opportunity to reflect on the Clinic’s mission, recognize the dedication of volunteers like Dr. Anoskey, and inspire ongoing support for the Dental Blitz program. Join us at 7:30 am for the opening of the celebration and kick off of the blitz! Community members, local healthcare providers, and supporters are invited to join us in honoring the journey, faith, and perseverance that have sustained this program for 20 years.
