We’re OPEN
We are the Oral Health Progress and Equity Network (OPEN). We intentionally engage with those committed to systems change by investing time, resources, and brain-power towards our collective goals.
We know that oral health is vital to overall health, yet there are barriers in place, which, like locked doors, prevent people from optimal health. OPEN won’t stand for this failure to live up to our ideals as a nation by leaving people to unjustly and unnecessarily suffer from preventable oral health issues. We catalyze a network to take on America’s oral health challenges so that everyone has an equitable chance to thrive. We won’t stop until everyone has the keys they need to fully access good oral health.
There is power in collective action. Learn more about the benefits of OPEN membership, how to join, and ways to build network hubs in your community or state.
We know that oral health is critical to overall health and that everyone should have the keys they need to access good health and to thrive.
We must undo the inequities brought about by policies and practices in our current systems — notably health care. We are the tenacious doers who will continue to advocate for change in order to make real progress in our systems and our country.
