Last year, the Patterson Foundation gave more than $1.4 million in grants and scholarships, resulting in 21,244 patients receiving oral healthcare and more than 48 assistance dogs being placed with veterans or individuals with disabilities.
“The life-changing work of these organizations embodies the essence of community, and we are honored to be a part of that,” Henriques said.
