Apple Tree Dental Awarded Circle of Excellence by DHS

Posted on February 1, 2024 by Bobbie Guidry

Apple Tree Dental has been honored as one of ten Minnesota human services organizations representing seven initiatives, receiving Circle of Excellence awards from Commissioner Jodi Harpstead.

The mobile services of Apple Tree Dental have been invaluable to many seniors residing in care settings and those using Medical Assistance for services.

About the Circle of Excellence Awards

The 2023 award winners provide essential services to refugees, Indigenous youth and elders, families with children, people with public health insurance, and people starting their recovery journeys.
