DISCUSSION:
Humboldt County DHHS - Public Health was awarded grant agreement # LICN-011 from the County Medical Services Program Governing Board for $50,000 on Oct. 1, 2020, to assess the needs and identify strategies to increase access to oral health for adults. This was originally approved by your board on Sept. 1, 2020.
DHHS-Public Health has maintained an oral health program on a smaller scale since the early 2000s with limited funding. In 2017, the Oral Health Program was granted over $3.8 million to serve as a Local Dental Pilot Project (LDPP) through the Dental Transformation Initiative via the Department of Health Care Services to implement a pilot program over 4 years to improve oral health for Medi-Cal children by focusing on high-value care and improved access to care. In 2018, the Oral Health Program was allotted $917,089 to function as a Local Oral Health Program through Proposition 56 via the California Department of Public Health. The purpose of these funds was to build capacity at the local level for the facilitation and implementation of oral health education, prevention, linkages to treatment, surveillance, and case management services within the community for children and adults alike.
