〔記者劉禹慶/澎湖報導〕牙科公益醫療團隊今(30)日2度跨海前往衛生福利部澎湖老人之家,為院內長者進行口腔檢查、必要處置及衛教。馬公市長黃健忠應計畫發起人周輝霖護理師邀請到場致意,衛生福利部澎湖醫院家庭醫學科主任、護理之家主任王稟荃醫師也到場關心。
過去曾在澎湖從事護理工作的周輝霖,發現失能、失智及行動不便住民常受交通、陪診人力等限制,不易規律接受牙科診療,因而邀請李牧謙醫師共同規劃。今(2026)年6月團隊首度來澎,服務60餘位長者,此次再度跨海延續照護。周輝霖表示,第1次服務讓團隊更清楚機構住民的實際需求,這次除了持續提供口腔照護,也希望掌握後續追蹤及轉介情形,讓跨海服務不是一次性的相遇,而能逐步建立穩定聯繫。
老人之家主任王語莉指出,部分住民外出就醫需仰賴輪椅、交通及陪同人力,牙科又常有持續回診需求,醫療團隊走進機構,不僅減少長者舟車勞頓,也讓照護端更能掌握個別口腔狀況。王稟荃長期投入澎湖家醫、居家及長照醫療,此次到場也讓跨海牙科服務與在地照護端有更多交流。
黃健忠表示,難得的不只是醫療團隊跨海而來,更是第1次服務後仍願意再次回到澎湖。市公所將在權責範圍內協助需求反映與資源連結,期待醫療端與長照機構逐步建立巡診、轉介及追蹤方式,讓行動不便的長者更容易獲得適切照護。
