Total Health Care invited to present at the
annual National Network of Oral Health Access
Total Health Care (Total), an FQHC in Baltimore City,
received a three-year, $180,000 grant from the CHRC to provide dental services
to pregnant women patients. The program
is a collaboration between Total and Mercy Hospital to ensure all pregnant
women patients of the FQHC who are seen by Mercy OB providers will receive the
benefit of integrated OB and dental care. The Total dental program offers an innovative
community-hospital partnership that can serve as a model for other areas of the
state.
Total was invited to present this program at the 2015 Annual Meeting of the
National Network of Oral Health Access in Indianapolis, Indiana. The focus of the conference was
“Interprofessional Collaboration to Improve Oral Health Access and Outcomes.” To see the full presentation, click here. Total Health Care also presented this work at
a poster session in August at the National
Association of Community Health Centers, 2015 Community Health Institute, in
Orlando, Florida.
The CHRC has
awarded 26 dental grants totaling $5.8 million. These grants have collectively served more than 46,500 Marylanders. For more information about these grants,
