Oral Health Day at Meharry Medical College

This proposal framed Oral Health Day as both a direct-service intervention and a health equity initiative, highlighting Meharry’s ability to deliver free, high-quality dental care to uninsured and underserved Nashville residents while training future providers in compassionate, community-centered practice. The narrative emphasized measurable outcomes, cost avoidance, and the value of reducing access barriers through preventive, restorative care. The request received $10,000 in funding.
