GIVING BACK
Here at Harwell & Cook Orthodontics, not only do we provide top orthodontic care for the residents of the various locations we serve, but we also take pride in our commitment to serving our communities. We love and appreciate our patients and their families and enjoy being a part of the community we serve. Giving back is a major part of what we do! We enjoy supporting local non-profit organizations, sporting events, schools, and communities, providing financial support, donations, and volunteering our time. You can learn about a few of our favorite programs below.
We’re your neighbors, so don’t be surprised if you see us (and our Braces Bus) at your local school, at sporting events, and around your community and non-profit events! Be sure to check our Facebook page often for updates on what we’re up to and to find out how you can join us in supporting our community!

A committee of individuals from both inside and outside our offices evaluates each scholarship form submitted. Recipients of the scholarships have come from all over the Panhandle and are equally divided between the 8 offices.

ESSAY #2:
Although we believe that academics are very important, we also believe that being involved in extracurricular and community activities is equally important. In your life, how have your activities outside the classroom influenced you?
