• Sustainable solutions that improve access to oral health services in public and private spaces (urban, suburban, rural, and Tribal communities and territories).
• Models that achieve meaningful oral and systemic health integration.
• Models to empower all consumers to make informed choices related to oral health and models that encourage healthy workplace and school policies.
