"Caring for Colorado is hosting a webinar on Feb. 5th at 10am to discuss 2015-2018 funding priorities in preparation for the Match grant deadline. Click here to register.
Caring for Colorado announced a 5-year, $3.5 million initiative to pilot the Virtual Dental Home in Colorado. The Virtual Dental Home Initiative will work to bring access to dental services to low-income, vulnerable and isolated children and seniors throughout Colorado using a hub and spoke model of dentistry. Registered Dental Hygienists will be deployed into community settings to provide preventive dental care and will be linked to a “hub” dentist, via tele-health technology, for assessment and treatment planning. A model such as this expands access to preventive care while it also identifies those with treatment needs and facilitates access to treatment via the hub dental office. The goals of the project are to greatly expand access to care for vulnerable populations and to test a new model of delivering dental care in community settings including schools, Head Start centers, assisted living centers and nursing homes."
