The Alliance manages the Wisconsin Oral Health Coalition (WOHC) - a dedicated group of over 130 individuals, organizations and agencies addressing dental access issues and working to improve oral health for children and families statewide. The WOHC holds an annual Oral Health Forum where pressing issues and new topics are brought to the forefront for participation. The WOHC Steering Committee serves as the governing body and is comprised of members from different backgrounds and professions.
The Coalition, consisting of diverse public and private partnerships, works to create meaningful change to improve oral health and access to care in Wisconsin.
- Oral health is an integral part of overall health and well-being.
- No one should be in pain from a preventable, transmissible, treatable oral disease.
- We can make a difference affecting systems through creative and meaningful changes to improve oral health.
- All individuals in Wisconsin have the right to respectful, equitable oral health care.
