After taking the tour of Bering Omega Community Services, I was astonished at the work provided through the programs they offer. The Dental Clinic far exceeds any expectation you would have for a non-profit offering such services. Once you walk through the door, you feel as if you are in any dentist office anywhere. Omega House offers such a warm home like experience for those who are in their late stage of AIDS and have no where else to turn before their life ends. The volunteers Bering Omega has are the most compassionate to sit there day in and day out with the clients letting them know someone does truly care.
Bering Omega Community Services provides four core programs to those living with HIV/AIDS. The services are very much needed by the clients who benefit from them. The Dental Clinic provides dental care for adults with HIV that are low income and would otherwise not have this service through any other means. Having a health mouth allows them to continue to take their medications, as they must be taken with food. It also helps with their self-esteem in order to live a better quality of life.
