SIU Green Grant 2018
The SIU Community Dental Center was fortunate enough to have received funding from the Green Fund grant fund at Southern Illinois University during the 2018 year. The Student Green Fund, initiated in 2009, (approximately ten dollars per student per semester) provides funding for campus projects that are focused on sustainability and bettering the SIU campus. This funding enabled the clinic to “go digital,” replacing all film radiographs with a digital sensor. This sensor allows dental professionals to take dental radiographs at a more efficient pace than traditional films, as well as enabling the clinic to eliminate all chemical and film waste of traditional film use (which had been used from 2001-2017). SIU Community Dental is very grateful to the SIU Green Fund and Sustainability Council for the opportunity to positively impact patients and reduce their chemical/film waste footprint.
