A nonprofit organization is supplying migrants with health care and last-minute supplies before they embark on crossing the dangerous Darién Gap jungle starting in Colombia.
Fish for Teeth, the Friday Harbor-based non-profit that provides dental care for those who could otherwise not afford it, has provided dental services not only to members of the San Juan Island community but has reached residents of San Juan County for the last few years. Since 2021, Fish for Teeth has treated over 1,200 patients over the course of more than 100 clinic days that were spread between San Juan Island, Orcas, and Lopez, according to the Fish for Teeth website. Due to changes in its funding structure, this year the non-profit will return to its original model of providing quality dental service to San Juan Island community members through a fully local volunteer base and new funding sources.
