Craig and Jean's Pond—Toothache Lake

Dr. Scott Kellermann dedicates his swim at Craig and Jean’s Pond, or as he fondly calls it—Toothache Lake—to the developing dental and vision programs at Bwindi Community Hospital. Jean and Craig Creasey are both dentists who have seen the great need for dental care in Uganda firsthand. Partnering with a group spearheaded by Stacy and John Lippert to advance vision care, and long-term partner Julia Amaral, their hope is to bring a dedicated Dental-Vision clinic to BCH. BCH currently has only one dental chair and limited vision care for a population of about a quarter million people. The new clinic would provide sustainable dental and vision services, two dental clinical officers, two vision clinical officers, a dedicated operating theatre, and lecture space for training the next generation of dental and vision clinicians.
