Cindy Rossey - Co-Founder, Retired
Cindy Rossey founded the dental clinic along with Dr. Volcheck. She started working for CASS in 2000. She organized the set up of the original dental trailer. In the beginning, Cindy had to do virtually every job in the clinic. She acted as dental assistant, front office manager, administrator and a part-time bouncer. Cindy oversaw the transformation of the clinic from the trailer to the new 8 chair clinic in 2005. In 2007, Cindy retired from CASS. Dr Volcheck, the staff, the volunteers and the homeless, all greatly feel the absence of Cindy Rossey, CDA.
