The Santa Fe Group’s Strategic Advisory Council brings together CEOs, C-suite executives, and senior leaders from industry, academia, foundations, and professional organizations to advance oral health equity, medical–dental integration, and evidence-based health policy. By guiding strategy, fostering partnerships, and driving innovation, SAC members help shape the Santa Fe Group’s direction and catalyze solutions that expand access to care for older adults, strengthen value-based care models, and connect oral health with overall health across Medicare, Medicaid, and public-private systems.
