                    Recently an ABC World News crew filmed a healthcare special at Caridad Center called "Hidden America: Medicaid's Youngest Face Dental Crisis" which aired April 24, 2012 during the 6:30 PM national news.

The report is the result of a study that showed in 2011 the State of Florida received a failing “F” grade from the Pew Center on the States.  Only 25% of children of children on Medicaid saw a dentist.

As a follow up to the report, ABC has produced an exclusive video featuring Caridad and the sustainable solution we provide to families in Palm Beach County.

Caridad Center, the largest clinic of its type in Florida, strives to improve the health, education and living standards of underserved children and adults by eliminating the cycle of poverty for families.
