May 14th, 2026 by
Mainline Health is proud to announce it has received a $30,000 grant from the Delta Dental of Arkansas Foundation to support the addition of a new dental operatory at its Star City Dental Clinic.
This expansion will significantly enhance the clinic’s capacity, allowing Mainline Health to serve more patients and reduce wait times for essential dental care in Lincoln County and surrounding communities. The additional operatory will help meet growing demand while advancing Mainline Health’s mission of providing accessible, high-quality oral health services.
“We are incredibly grateful to Delta Dental for investing in the health of our community through this grant opportunity,” says Dr. Skylar Garner from Mainline’s Star City Dental Clinic. “The addition of a new dental operatory will allow us to expand access to care and serve more patients who may otherwise go without essential dental treatment. This expansion is an important step forward in better meeting the growing needs of our community. We are proud to continue expanding the quality, compassionate care our patients deserve.”
Construction and implementation of the new operatory are expected to take place this summer,
and Mainline Health looks forward to the positive impact this expansion will have on patient access
and overall community health.
Mainline Health extends its sincere gratitude to the Delta Dental of Arkansas Foundation for its continued commitment to improving oral health across the state.
