Where we started:
In 2005 an alarming number of children were arriving in Green Bay area emergency rooms with dental pain and infections. A dedicated group of community volunteers with the Green Bay Rotary decided to do something about it and created an initiative in 2005 called Healthy Teeth Healthy Kids a mobile in-school dental clinic. From this program the Oral Health Partnership was 2007 we became a 501(c)3 and opened our first clinic at the Howe Community Resource Center.
In addition to our School-Based and clinic services in 2010 through a partnership with St. Vincent Hospital we added hospital services. This allows us to provide dental treatment under general anesthesia for young children highly anxious patients and children and youth with special healthcare needs.
Where we are:
Today we are so excited to be giving children the care and tools they need to smile! We spearhead a true community effort with partnerships with multiple organizations and 7 school districts with over 40 schools to treat children with untreated dental needs throughout the county. Each year our clinics and School-Based Programs perform over 100000 procedures serving over 10000 children with over 4000 being seen in school. Through countless outreach efforts to daycares and other community organizations we are continuing our efforts to reach all the children in Brown County that can benefit from our services. But we still have more work to do.
Where were going:
We will continue to grow and evolve until every child in Brown County has access to quality dental care. This includes expanding our clinics visiting schools all over the county and outreach to where we can treat our communitys children. Every child deserves a healthy smile and we are committed to making sure they can get one!
