$300,000 grant brings dental care to underserved
By DrBicuspid Staff
June 27, 2008 -- United Health Foundation is giving Howard University a $300,000 grant to establish a model program in dental excellence at the university's College of Dentistry.
The program is designed to expand access to quality dental care for low-income children and their families who reside in Washington, DC, and Prince George's County. It extends United Health Foundation's "Community Health Centers of Excellence" initiative, through which the foundation partners with four community health centers in New Orleans; Bronx, NY; Miami; and the Congress Heights/Anacostia area of Washington, DC.
To date, the foundation has committed more than $17 million in financial support to the centers.
