Dental Advisory Committee for the Dental Health Care Program for Low-Income Seniors

“The Colorado Dental Health Care Program for Low-Income Seniors (Senior Dental Program) went live on July 1, 2015 and has been very successful in promoting the health and welfare of Colorado’s low-income seniors by providing access to dental care to individuals age 60 and over who are not eligible for dental services under any other dental health care program, such as Medicaid or the Old Age Pension Health and Medical Care Program. One of the reasons this program has been so successful is because of the work of the Senior Dental Advisory Committee (DAC).

The Department is seeking candidates to fill the following interest areas on the Committee:  (1) One (1) of the two consumer advocate seats and (2) a senior who is eligible for services under the Senior Dental Program.

If you, or someone else you may know, is interested in filling one of these positions and would like the opportunity to participate on the DAC, please send a detailed email describing the following:

• Which interest area you would fill;
• A brief description of your relevant experience;
• Your role with your current organization and your relationship with low-income seniors; and
• Why you would like to serve on the Committee. 
• In addition to the information requested above, feel free to include a current resume or any supplemental information you think would be helpful for our decision.

Please email your expression of interest and any supporting materials to Chandra.vital@state.co.us with the subject: Senior Dental Program Advisory Committee Membership.  Please respond by January 4, 2016.  If you have any questions or need any additional information, please contact Chandra Vital directly via email or at (303)866-5506.” [Source: HCPF]
