\nThe Mountain Home Christian Clinic has received a $10,000 grant from the Arkansas Community Foundation that will support upgrades and ongoing operations for the clinic\u2019s dental outreach program.<\/p>\n

Executive Director Brandi Sharp said the grant comes at a critical time as the clinic enters its 26th year of service and works to modernize aging infrastructure, particularly within its dental program.<\/p>\n

KTLO News spoke with Sharp who says the funding will be used to upgrade the clinic\u2019s dental information technology systems.

The clinic\u2019s dental outreach program, which primarily focuses on extractions, serves one of the community\u2019s greatest unmet healthcare needs. Sharp said the clinic treated more than 100 dental patients in 2025, but demand far exceeds current capacity.
