Make a meaningful difference — one patient at a time.

Tri City Health Partnership (TCHP) is the only completely free medical and dental clinic operating year-round in Kane County. We provide high-quality, compassionate care to uninsured individuals who live or work in Central Kane County. Every patient is treated with dignity, respect, and kindness.

We are seeking a Registered Dental Hygienist who is passionate about patient care and community impact to join our small, mission-driven dental team.

As a member of our care team, you will play a pivotal role in making a positive impact on the lives of the patients you see. Every appointment is an opportunity to improve health, build trust, and make care accessible for someone who may otherwise go without.
