The community support that powers Lackey Free Clinic has allowed it to add its first staff dentist.
A year after a major building renovation added five new dental stations, the clinic has hired Dr. Brooke Hasenfelt to serve its patients. Hasenfelt’s part-time position, three days each week, is possible through a contribution from the Virginia Health Care Foundation.
A graduate of East Carolina University School of Dentistry, she spent her residency at a rural public health center, giving care to patients with limited economic means.
Hasenfelt joins a team of 14 volunteer dentists at the clinic, in addition to dental assistants and hygienists who pledge their time to dental care for uninsured clients. Support from the Williamsburg Health Foundation has provided a dental coordinator position as well.
For more information about Lackey Free Clinic, visit its website or contact Grace Rutledge, assistant director of development at 886-0608, ext. 250.

Robinson started his tenure with the county in 1980, and recently retired as a construction and maintenance worker. He worked closely with other staff to reduce the danger of flooding by removing plants, along with tons of leaves and storm debris from ditches every year.
“Willie was an important member of our team,” said Stormwater Engineer Connie Bennett, in a news release. “His can-do attitude made a significant impact on the team and its accomplishments. Drainageway maintenance is not an easy job, but Willie never complained because he knew he was providing an important service to the community.”
