Building and Maintaining a Financially Sustainable Oral Health Program

This session will discuss strategies to begin or to expand oral health programs for the underserved.  An experienced panel consisting of a CHC chief executive and a CHC dental director will share from their experience how to begin and/or manage a financially sustainable oral health program.  Resources that are available to assist CHCs to expand their programs will be provided and described.  Also, the panel will present strategies for more closely integrating primary health care and oral health care services.  Strategies for both Medicaid expansion and non-expansion states will be presented.
