Online voting for Tom's of Maine's annual Dental Health for All (DHFA) program began February 2 and runs until the end of the month, the company announced.
A public vote will decide which five mobile dental clinics, among the 10 listed below, will split $100,000 to help grow and support programs that offer critical, easy-to-access dental care to those in need.
The program was created to award dental clinics that make a difference in their communities by ensuring underserved communities have access to oral healthcare. What's new in 2011 is the focus on "Goodness to Go," bringing funding and services directly to the people who need it most via mobile dental programs.
The finalists in the 2011 DHFA program are listed below:
- Innis Community Health Center: Smiles to Go, Innis, LA
- Kids In Need of Dentistry (KIND), Denver, CO
- Jewish Renaissance Medical Center, Perth Amboy, NJ
- Apple Tree Dental, Minneapolis, MN
- St. Luke's Hospital & Health Network, Bethlehem, PA
- St. Mary's Mobile Dental Care for Kids, Evansville, IN
- Children's Hospital New Orleans Tooth Bus, New Orleans, LA
- St. Joseph Health System Sonoma County Cultivating Health Mobile Dental Clinic, Santa Rosa, CA
- Children's Health Fund, New York City, NY
- Metropolitan Development Council, Tacoma, WA
Vote for up to five clinics each day at the Tom's of Maine website throughout the month of February. The winners will be announced on the company's Facebook page in March.
