| Goal 3 |
Goal #3: Treat community members without the means to care for their oral health problems.
In order to achieve this goal, the Society will partner with local agencies and nonprofit organizations to set-up and deliver screenings for all community members. Recently, the work with Yamhill County Public Health demonstrated how well a coordinated, well-structured event can screen and set-up treatment for a hundred or so community members in a short period of time. By working with Love INC and other non-profits, a mobile, flexible and easily scheduled oral health events can be scheduled and conducted throughout Yamhill County. Society members would work with these non-profits to schedule events dates and times, set-up the equipment and supplies for the event and provide staff for logistics and data collections. Society members would assist with supplies and equipment, as well as staffing for these events. Calendaring and coordinating these events would be accomplished through the Society's Outreach Coordinator.
The Society will begin writing a grant to purchase a dental van, which would be equipped to screen and treat dozens of community members at a given event. The van would be kept at an agreed-upon location, and would be available for Society member use only. The van would be a crowning achievement (no pun intended) for the Society as it's long term success and ability to achieve Goal #3 by performing outreach and screenings for the entire community depends on the ability to get equipment, supplies and staff to locations throughout the County.
The Society will also develop even stronger partnership with A-dec and other dental equipment and supply vendors in order to begin working together to achieve the shared vision of treating poor oral health issues in Yamhill County. The power of the Society will be its ability to leverage its partners in obtaining support (monetary or in-kind) to achieve Goal #3.
