BERLIN — Coos County Family Health Services was recently awarded $1.5 million to expand its dental clinic thanks to Congressional direct spending requests that Sen. Jeanne Shaheen (D- N.H) helped secure as a senior member of the Senate Appropriations Committee through the Fiscal Year 2022 funding package, which was just signed into law.

According to CCFHS Chief Executive Officer Ken Gordon, the entity is looking to expand the capacity of its dental clinic. Gordon said the current clinic, located at 73 Main St. in Berlin, had four dental chairs and CCFHS would like to double the clinic’s capacity to eight. He said the clinic is also looking to hire another dentist and hygienist.
