The information curated and shared by the Santa Fe Group highlights the current work of many stakeholders in hopes of stimulating further thought and collaborations that ultimately contribute to healthcare strategies leading to health equity for all.

The Continuum on Health Integration is an online resource that includes webinars, position papers, and editorials consolidated for convenient review and reference. The benefits of integrating oral health into overall healthcare are limitless but it will take the efforts of many to make this a reality.
