This summer, our Annual Picnic welcomed employees and their families for a joyful celebration of Consejo’s 46 years of service. Surrounded by food, music, laughter, and bright colors, we shared an afternoon that truly reflected the heart of our Consejo community.
We are grateful for our amazing Consejo team and the community that stands with us.
This summer, Consejo Renton welcomed the Peninsula Community Health Services (PCHS) Mobile Dental Clinic for the first event in our new monthly dental clinic series. This initiative brings no-cost, accessible oral health care directly into the community.
Seven patients received essential dental support during this first clinic — including individuals experiencing urgent dental pain and others who had gone without care for too long. Patients left with personalized assessments, clear next steps, and renewed confidence in their oral health.
What This Meant for Our Patients
Our partnership with PCHS continues to expand access to dental care through monthly clinics that remove barriers for our community.
