New Policy Statement: All Veterans Deserve Comprehensive Dental CareThe Coalition for Oral Health Policy (COHP), an initiative of the Santa Fe Group, is proud to share a new policy statement published in Health Affairs Forefront: “All Veterans Deserve Comprehensive Dental Care.” This article addresses the critical gap in dental care access for U.S. veterans, highlighting how limited eligibility for dental services contributes to health inequities and financial strain. The authors propose actionable policy solutions to expand access tackling issues such as workforce shortages and outdated eligibility criteria to ensure all veterans receive the comprehensive care they deserve. The article was co-authored by AIDPH’s Annaliese Cothron, M.S., along with COHP and Santa Fe Group board members Raul Garcia, D.M.D., M.Med.Sc.; Judith A. Jones, D.D.S., M.P.H., D.Sc.D.; and Ira B. Lamster, D.D.S., M.M.Sc. |
