Kemple Children's Clinic
About us
The Kemple Clinic was established in October, 1998 by Dr. H.M. Kemple, a long-time Bend resident and practicing dentist. Dr. Kemple had a lofty dream to ensure that all children in our community are provided with quality dental care regardless of ability to pay. While approaching his retirement, he negotiated a work space with Deschutes County and established a free dental clinic for children unable to access dental care given their circumstances. Working closely with the Deschutes County schools, he worked diligently to expand clinic operations, raising money to fund operating costs, and encouraging local dentists to volunteer their time and facilities to treat the children of Deschutes County. Dr. Kemple provided leadership to the Board of Directors, encouraging continued growth and positive impact on our community. Dr. Kemple passed away on December 2, 2007. The Board, inspired by his dream, continues to pursue a new, expanded vision for the clinic—one that continues to meet the ever-growing needs of our Central Oregon community.
