Dental Clinic Shuts Down at San Joaquin General Hospital
San Joaquin General Hospital has closed its dental clinic after 38 years, a move that county supervisors say will save the county $350,000 annually. The county health director said that the number of uninsured residents has dropped substantially and that Medi-Cal reimbursements no longer covered the cost of treating the clinic's primary demographic.
