The Harry E. Davis Partnership For Children's Oral Health

The Harry E. Davis Partnership For Children's Oral Health, doing business as Children's Oral Health Network Of Maine, is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization registered in SAM.gov, located in New Gloucester, Maine. The organization focuses on improving oral health access and services for children, particularly in rural and underserved regions of Maine. Through its federal grant awards, the organization provides specialized oral health outreach, network development, and community-based dental care services targeting children aged 0-18 in rural counties.

The organization has received two significant federal grant awards that demonstrate its comprehensive approach to addressing oral health disparities. The first award, a $500,000 project grant from the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), supports the Maine Dental Connection Clinical Consortium, aimed at increasing dental care access in six northern border counties through partnerships with Head Start centers, expanding dental services in childcare and school settings, and developing a workforce of community-based dental hygienists. The second grant, a Community Project Funding award, focuses on implementing a Virtual Dental Home model, which enables preventive dental care in community settings using telehealth technology. The organization collaborates with multiple partners, including the Association of Maternal and Child Health Programs, Medical Care Development, Inc., University of New England, and various local dental clinics, to achieve its goals of improving oral health outcomes for children who are traditionally underserved by the dental system.
