Last week, our fearless leader, Tara, attended the Virginia Health Catalyst roundtable focused on advancing health equity across the Commonwealth.
The discussion brought together Mark R. Warner, health leaders, advocates, and community partners to share real, on-the-ground insights that can help shape policy and systems-level solutions.
We’re proud to be part of important conversations centered on person-focused care, improved access, innovation, and better integration in health care—especially for communities facing persistent inequities.

This week's is 🌟
Thank you for all you've given to our DDS program and for aiding in our mission to provide everyone in VA with the smile they deserve 😁
Donated Dental Services (DDS) is our program that provides free dental care to low-income older adults, individuals with disabilities, and medically compromised individuals. This program relies on the generous support of donors, funders, dental professionals and dental laboratory service companies. 🧪
Dental laboratories play an integral part of the DDS program by donating the crowns, partials, and full dentures required for DDS patients to complete their care.
