Health in Hand
Health in Hand aims to improve access to preventive health resources for underserved and marginalized communities, including long-term care facilities, schools, and shelters. The project will distribute approximately 400 care kits containing oral hygiene supplies, educational materials, affordable dental resource information, sunscreen, and SPF lip balm. Through interdisciplinary collaboration, the project will promote oral and overall health while helping individuals better understand when and where to seek care.
