2026 Dental Clinic

ANTIGUA, GUATEMALA

September 26 - October 3, 2025

In its fifth year, the clinic—organized by Dr. Michael Guthrie— delivered record-breaking dental care, welcoming two new dentists to the team and a dental assistant, which allowed them to reach more patients than ever before.

Additionally, for the 5th time in Operation Walk Pittsburgh history, Dr. Mike Guthrie of Wexford Family Dentistry offered Antigua residents a free dental clinic. Dr. Guthrie was joined this year by Dr. Katherine Grosso and Drs. Kenneth and Melissa Nogceck (all hailing from Hartford, CT).

The team achieved record-breaking results — 79 patients received 246 dental procedures, including fillings, extractions, root canals, and crowns…all at no cost.

As we look ahead to the 6th year of the clinic, our goal is simple but ambitious: to expand access, grow our dental team, and serve even more patients in need. With additional volunteers, partners, and donors, we can continue building on this success and ensure that every patient leaves with a healthier smile—and renewed hope.

In partnership with Valley Periodontics and Wexford Family Dentistry, we’re launching a fundraising campaign to support the purchase of critically needed dental supplies and medications that will be used during the clinic. All donations will directly support patient care and are tex-deductible. Our fundraising goal is $10,000, which will cover dental care for 80 patients. Below, you’ll see a few ways your donation can make a difference and give a needy patient a reason to smile.
