The Delta Dental of Arkansas Foundation gave Mainline Health Systems Inc. a $30,000 grant to grow its Star City Dental Clinic.
The money pays for a new dental operatory. Clinic leaders say it will add capacity and shorten waits for patients in Lincoln County and nearby Southeast Arkansas communities, where demand for dental care keeps growing.
Dr. Skylar Garner of the Star City clinic thanked Delta Dental and said the new operatory will let the clinic serve more patients who might otherwise go without dental treatment. Construction was expected to start in summer 2026.
