Description

Every year, CareQuest Institute awards more than $12 million in grants to strengthen our communities, reimagine more equitable systems, and create better oral health for all. How does that funding make a difference? Why does it exist in the first place? And how do grantees drive national, regional, and local change?

A panel of experts — including grantmaking leadership at CareQuest Institute and leaders from grantee organizations — will explore those questions in a one-hour webinar on Thursday, April 21 at 12 p.m. ET. We’ll discuss the historical power imbalances in oral health and the urgent need for systems-change solutions built in collaboration with the communities most impacted by the problems we are trying to solve. Participants will also hear from grantees about their daily, on-the-ground efforts to effect change and learn more about the grantee application process.

Learning Objectives:

  • Identify the power imbalances in oral health and why there’s a need for new voices in decision-making across the system.
  • Recognize the importance of community, collaboration, and partnerships in effecting change in oral health.
  • Discuss one organization’s ongoing efforts to fight for a comprehensive, equitable dental benefit in Medicare.
  • Explain how lived experiences of individuals can help create broad change in the oral health system.
