Community Work - A Different Kind of Caring
Dr. Agarwal has a strong commitment to his profession and the public. He is an active member of 7 dental organizations
and routinely provides dental care to underserved populations in Chicago, having donated an office building and fully
equipped practice to charity for this specific purpose.
After reading an article in The Star, a local Chicago Heights newspaper, Dr. Anil Agarwal changed his life and subsequently the lives of more than 700 low-income and uninsured people in the South Suburbs.
That change is being celebrated by the official opening of the Agarwal Family Health Society Dental Clinic, 1415 Emerald Ave., Chicago Heights, Illinois.
Marylin Walsh, his office manager, handed Dr. Agarwal an article about The Family Health Society in Chicago Heights helping unfortunate people with dental care. The article mentioned the need for an office to continue providing dental service to the working poor, underinsured, and uninsured. Dr. Agarwal was on the phone after reading the article willing to donate his office to the Family Health Society.
The official opening of the Agarwal Family Health Society Dental Clinic took place April 26, 2001. With a staff of four paid employees and 79 volunteers, the society helps low-income, underinsured or uninsured south suburban residents.
