Improving the Oral Health of All
Join us in creating a system that is accessible, equitable, and integrated.
We Champion Oral Health Transformation
Our health care system is not built to work for everyone — people of color, those living in rural communities, people with disabilities, older adults, and other historically marginalized groups have been left behind. CareQuest Institute for Oral Health is a nonprofit championing a more equitable future where every person can reach their full potential through excellent health.
