Dr. Gretchen Henson - Volunteer and Lead Adjunct Faculty
2007 Volunteer Dentist of the Year

Dr. Gretchen Henson grew up in here in the Valley. She began her dental career as an assistant in a pediatric office at age 15, which explains her love for working with children. Dr. Henson is a graduate of the University of Arizona with a BS degree in Health Sciences & Alternative Medicine. She graduated from the University of Colorado with her dental degree and post-doctoral training in pediatrics, rural health care and HIV and AIDS patients. Dr. Henson continues her dental education by attending hundreds of hours of continuing dentistry.

Dr. Henson participates in numerous community events each year and is the Co-Director of the CASS Dental Clinic for the Homeless. She is also a regular volunteer for Head Start, Special Olympics and Give Kids a Smile Day. Dr. Henson chairs the Council on Membership for the Arizona State Dental Association. She is also a liaison to the Board of Dental Examiners and volunteers for the Associate Placement Program working as a mentor for new dentists. Dr. Henson enjoys lecturing on dentistry and practice management. She has also presented at the Annual National Healthcare for the Homeless Conference.

Dr. Krishnan Bala - Volunteer and Adjunct Faculty
2009 Volunteer Dentist of the Year

Dr Bala

Dr. Kris Bala has been serving our homeless patients at CASS since 2004. He has many functions at CASS. First, Kris treats the homeless patients himself by taking care of CASS's most difficult oral surgery cases. As adjunct faculty at the Arizona School of Dentistry and Oral Health, Dr. Bala teaches the 4th year students in Oral Surgery, as the students are working on the homeless patients. And, perhaps most importantly, he uses his stand-up comedian skills to provide comic relief and put the homeless patients at ease in the clinic.

Dr. Bala has been treating the underserved in our community for almost as long as he has been a dentist. Not only has Dr. Bala been serving our local community, Dr. Bala has been instrumental in providing dental services and coordinating volunteers at the Sri Sathya Sai Dental Clinic in Puttaparthi, India.
