WNC Steering Committee

NCOHC’s Western North Carolina Steering Committee, formerly the WNC Children’s Oral Health Initiative, works to improve the oral health of children in Western North Carolina. The steering committee includes oral health and medical providers, community partners, and other stakeholders.

Strategic Focus

  • Increase health care integration by facilitating collaboration among dental, medical, and public health providers, encouraging preventive care and a dental home for all children on Medicaid.
  • Expand access to oral health care for rural children, children in communities of color, and children living in poverty.
  • Enhance oral health literacy for families, policymakers, and providers.
  • And much more.
