The Coral Gables Woman’s Club is a social and community service organization that represents a wide spectrum of women of all ages. In existence since 1923, the Club is comprised of dynamic women from Miami-Dade and Broward Counties. Our common bond is a commitment to making South Florida a better place to live through helping other organizations.In 1939, the Club founded the Coral Gables Children's Dental Clinic for the children of low income families. The clinic is located in our clubhouse and is the primary beneficiary of our fund-raising efforts. The sole purpose of our Dental Clinic is to provide dental care for school-age children residing in Miami-Dade County whose parents (families) cannot afford costly dental care and not eligible for public health programs.Many of these children have never visited a dentist, and the majority of them require extensive dental care, such as root canals and crowns. The initial visit includes cleaning, x-rays and devaluation for long-term treatment. The children then visit the clinic weekly until all the necessary works is completed. Our staff of dentists and hygienists provide cleaning, fluoride and oral hygiene. Our emphasis is on prevention. Some children require extensive dental care beyond the scope of the clinic and are referred to the required dental specialty.Services provided to these children are paid for exclusively by donations and fundraising activities of members of the GFWC Coral Gables Woman's Club.
