Funding the research, people, and programs that improve health equity in oral and overall health in MI, OH, IN and NC.
关于我们
At the Delta Dental Foundation (DDF), we know that oral and overall health are intrinsically linked. But for many people, the tools and education that can help keep their mouths healthy are often out of reach. Today, three out of four Americans report experiencing barriers to accessing dental care. That’s why the DDF is dedicated to developing and enhancing partnerships and programs to improve health equity in oral and overall health. Our areas of focus include increasing dental access to underserved and high-risk populations; identifying and reducing health disparities related to oral and overall health; providing educational programming on the importance of oral health and how it relates to overall health; providing scholarships and awards to dental students; and offering continuing education programs for the dental profession. But we don’t just fund great projects—we also take action on our own to ensure the work that’s necessary gets done. After all, everyone deserves a healthy smile. The DDF is a nonprofit, charitable organization established in 1980, which serves as the philanthropic arm of Delta Dental of Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, and North Carolina.

What do new financial aid opportunities for dentists and dental hygienists, a statewide oral health workforce initiative and a #DentalHygiene chairside recruitment program have in common? They're all strategies we're employing to alleviate oral health workforce shortages—in Michigan and beyond. Strengthening and diversifying the #OralHealth safety net is a critical pillar of our strategic plan.

Why did we work with Delta Dental of Michigan, Delta Dental of Ohio and Delta Dental of Indiana to create new scholarship and loan repayment opportunities for dentists, dental hygienists and #DentalHygiene students? When we help defray the cost of education, it's easier to encourage more people to enter the profession and practice in areas of high need. And at the end of the day, more providers mean more people will have their #OralHealth needs addressed.
