April is Oral Health Awareness Month

Good oral health is more than just having a bright smile—it’s a critical part of overall health. 

According to the Wisconsin Department of Health Services, approximately 1 in 5 third-grade children in Wisconsin have untreated tooth decay, a statistic that underscores the importance of consistent oral care and education.

In the Community

Seal-A-Smile

Kenosha Community Health Center’s Seal-A-Smile team visited Head Start Kenosha to provide essential dental care. With many children in Kenosha County facing limited access to dental care, this initiative helps fill a critical gap in oral health services and education.

National Public Health Week with Advocacy at the State Capitol

In early April, Gregory Pawell, Marketing and Community Relations Lead at Kenosha Community Health Center and Pillar Health joined more than 60 colleagues from across the state at the Wisconsin Primary Health Care Association (WPHCA) Biennial State Policy and Issue Forum in Madison.


Greg, alongside WPHCA liaison Carly Meyer, met with staff from eight state legislators to share the impactful work happening at our health centers—including our expansion into the Lincoln-King neighborhood in Racine. Together, they championed the mission of KCHC, Pillar Health, and our partner centers to improve access to affordable, quality care for all.

March for Meals

At Pillar Health & KCHC, we believe in caring for our community—inside and outside the clinic. We’re proud to support Kenosha Area Family and Aging Services, Inc. during their March for Meals event! Our very own Greg Pawell, Jan Sandalow, and her sister Jill stepped up to help deliver meals and connect with local seniors in need.
