Our community

Community Image Community Image

Each year, Patterson supports nonprofit organizations by providing resources – both financial support and employee time and talents – to organizations that increase access to oral health and enhance the quality of life for humans and animals in our local communities.

Patterson employees receive Volunteer Time Off (VTO) to volunteer with local nonprofit organizations. And, the Patterson Foundation encourages and supports the passions of its employees outside of work through its Dollars for Doers program by donating $100 per employee to the organization where they volunteered.
