Dear Reader:
This Pierce County Resource Guide is dedicated to the hard work and commitment of those who have endeavored
timelessly over the years to “keep the promise.”
We want to acknowledge the generous support of Pierce County Human Services, Developmental Disabilities
Program, in providing the funds to update and print this important comprehensive guide to services and supports
for individuals who experience intellectual/ developmental disabilities. This important tool will assist you in
navigating the public and private programs and services available throughout Pierce County and beyond.
The Pierce County Coalition for Developmental Disabilities (PC2) welcomes the opportunity to assist individuals
and families in finding the services and programs that best meet your needs. We are here to answer your calls
if you need further assistance. Whether you are an individual who experiences an intellectual/developmental
disability, have a family member who experiences an intellectual/developmental disability, work within the disability
field, or are in the general community, we welcome your questions and concerns.
We acknowledge that, when compiling this complex list of resources, there are changes that can occur during the
production process. Please know that every effort was made to ensure the accuracy and completeness of agency
information.
Bates’ Dental Clinic provides a variety of dental services to the public. Our clinic is staffed with a full-time, licensed dentist, a Dental Assisting instructor, and students who are in their final three-and-a-half-month clinical internship. We provide exams, fillings, crowns, some extractions. All patients must complete a new patient exam (exam and x-rays) before treatment can be performed. Clinic is open Monday-Thursday, 8-3 and is closed during college holidays and during the college’s summer break. The Dental Clinic is located at the Downtown Campus, Room E202A. The Dental Clinic accepts Apple Health and fees are generally less than what a private dental practice might charge. Fees are due at the time of service.
