Statewide policymakers, government, health and educational leaders will convene in Denver June 3-4, 2010 for a Colorado Oral Health Summit to tackle major oral health issues such as access to dental care and workforce shortages, and develop recommendations for updating the state’s formal Oral Health Plan. The summit, “Charting a New Oral Health Direction for Coloradans,” will also highlight the positive changes in oral health programs and services throughout the state since the creation of the state’s first formal Oral Health Plan five years ago and emphasize the importance of good dental health to an individual’s overall health. The event will be hosted by Oral Health Awareness Colorado! (OHAC!), a statewide coalition of local, state and federal organizations and individuals committed to improving oral health care for all Coloradans. It will be held at the Anschutz Medical Campus in Aurora.
