Big news! 🙌 Our friends at Mobile Care Chicago, in partnership with the Chicago White Sox Charities, officially unveiled their second dental van yesterday — doubling their capacity to bring free, high-quality dental care directly to schools and neighborhoods where access is often limited. When kids are healthy, they can focus on learning and growing and this van makes that possible for hundreds more children across our community. Congratulations, Mobile Care Chicago! 🦷
