Dr. Lina Bermudez has been named associate director of dental medicine at CHP Berkshires. She joined CHP Great Barrington Family Dental in 2013 and will continue to see patients at her practice.
In her new role, Dr. Bermudez will work with CHP leadership to support dental practices and staff in North Adams, Adams, Pittsfield, and Great Barrington.
Her appointment follows the completion of a countywide expansion of CHP’s dental services, intended to expand oral healthcare access to thousands of Berkshire residents, especially those who rely on MassHealth for their insurance coverage. The Great Barrington Family Dental Center has recently reopened after a two-year development project.
“Dr. Bermudez has been a role model in both caring for dental patients at CHP and in her commitment to expanding access to dental care throughout the Berkshires,” said Dr. Andrew Beckwith, chief medical officer at CHP Berkshires. “We look forward to Dr. Bermudez’s new role in bringing broader leadership to our CHP dental team.”
A native of Colombia, she is a general dentistry graduate of the Pontificia Universidad Javeriana. Prior to her work at CHP, she worked as a dentist for Hillcrest Educational Centers.
“I am very excited to join and contribute to this team dedicated to the CHP mission, and I look forward to bringing my experience to achieve meaningful impact,” said Dr. Bermudez. “It is always my honor to be on this team making a difference to the health of our Berkshire community.”
