Integration of oral health into primary care practice is increasingly recognized as key to expanding oral health infrastructure and capacity.
Through evaluation, funded projects will be able to demonstrate successful strategies for creating or expanding integrated services designed to improve oral health outcomes for children in Illinois. They must be able to demonstrate efficiency in delivery of services, specifically in regards to addressing barriers created by geography, special needs, and/or race or ethnicity and the ability to sustain the project once grant funding has ended.”
