About COHS:

Dr. Stephen J. Moss, Chairman of the Samuel Harris Fund for Children's Dental Health Grants Program, conceived the idea to create a centralized resource center for community-based dental prevention programs.

With generous funding from a grant from the American Dental Association Foundation (ADAF) and the Alliance of the American Dental Association, the Community Oral Health Station was developed to provide community leaders with information and resources that support and enhance their delivery of oral health education and care to the public.

The objectives of the site include:

• Disseminating a diversity of authoritative educational materials designed with sensitivity to age, ethnic, cultural and language differences, and will help reduce overlap of programs and duplication of effort.
• Providing a variety of successful access to care and educational programs will be showcased as models that other programs can emulate.
• Access to downloadable Adobe documents with useful materials, giving volunteers a fast, convenient and cost-effective conduit for information that fits with their programs.
• Sources of financial and in-kind support for organizations seeking program funding and other resources.
• Grant application reference materials and samples of winning proposals to help organizations compete for grant support.
• Metrics on the outcomes of various funded projects to quantify the potential of specific project types and expenditures.

This site is growing every day. Check back often for access to the latest programs.
