Born out of tragedy, this organization has transformed personal loss into a mission of hope—providing evidence-based training like ASIST and safeTALK, as well as grief support for those affected by suicide. By making mental health resources more accessible, Kiersten’s Ride is breaking barriers and saving lives.

Few Veterans qualify for dental care through the Veterans Health Administration (VHA). The Michigan Center for Rural Health and its I-REACH Rural Veterans program are working with the Delta Dental Foundation, the Michigan Dental Association Foundation, My Community Dental Centers and Federally Qualified Health Centers to close the gaps in dental care for Veterans. I-REACH works to expand awareness and access to healthcare for underserved Veterans. Oral health plays a significant role in this as overall health indicators can be identified during routine checkups. Learn more about I-REACH: https://lnkd.in/edPNEtEV #miruralhealth #oralhealth
