Over the years, Dr. Carol, her son Dr. Roberto, and Dr. Carolyn Duong have worked to provide beneficial dental care and more for those in need. They remain passionate about contributing their efforts and have so far accomplished the following:
- Dr. Carol and her husband, Ed, founded the West Liberty Youth Dream Catchers in 2004. This program pairs third-grade students who are on a free or reduced lunch program with a mentor who has volunteered to provide encouragement and guidance. The program raises money so the students get an $8,000 scholarship when they go to college.
- Dr. Carol founded the free children’s dental clinic in Muscatine for children who don’t have insurance and can’t afford dental services. This program has since joined the University of Iowa and the MCSA. Her actions led her to receive the Children’s Award from the governor.
- Dr. Carol is the president of the Iowa Academy of General Dentistry, Dr. Roberto is the vice president, and Dr. Duong is the co-chair.
- Dr. Roberto is a past president of the West Liberty Lions Club and treasurer of LULAC (League of United Latin American Citizens).
