Tom's of Maine has announced the five winning mobile dental clinics in its 2011 Dental Health for All (DHFA) program.
Determined by public vote, these 501(c)3 nonprofit clinics will split $100,000 to grow and support mobile programs that offer critical access to dental care in local communities.
This year's DHFA program focused solely on expanding dental clinics in the field so they can bring oral health services to those unable to afford an exam or coverage.
The following organizations will each receive $20,000:
- Children's Hospital New Orleans Tooth Bus, New Orleans, LA
- Kids in Need of Dentistry, Denver, CO
- St. Joseph Health System -- Sonoma County Cultivating Health Mobile Dental Clinic, Santa Rosa, CA
- St. Luke's Hospital & Health Network, Bethlehem, PA
- St. Mary's Mobile Dental Care for Kids, Evansville, IN
To date, Tom's of Maine DHFA program has helped make nearly 200,000 additional patient visits possible with $900,000 in funding provided to more than 25 school and community-based dental clinics.
