Description

Ensuring access to oral health care requires regular advocacy. As part of their advocacy work, the Connecticut Oral Health Initiative (COHI) promotes increased access to oral health care for children and the inclusion of oral health into the broader spectrum of primary health.  This particular grant will allow COHI to advocate for the establishment of dental homes for Connecticut residents, and for the integration of oral health within primary care.
