The ADHA Institute for Oral Health (IOH) was founded to advance the dental hygiene profession and expand access to oral care through scholarships, research grants and community service grants. In collaboration with the American Dental Hygienists’ Association (ADHA), IOH helps ADHA members meet educational needs, expand the field of dental hygiene and provide oral health care and education to their communities. IOH will continue to improve the public’s total health by increasing the awareness of and access to quality oral healthcare for all.

IOH is dedicated to:

• Empowering dental hygienists to improve the public’s health through community service grants
• Supporting advancements in the dental hygiene profession through research grants
• Developing dental hygienists’ access to educational programs through scholarships

Many thanks to all of you who have donated so generously to IOH this year, the IOH fiscal year runs from July 1^st through June 30^th every year.

Our state goal this year for the ADHA Institute for Oral Health is to raise $6,300.06 and

WE ARE ONLY $610.06 AWAY FROM REACHING OUR GOAL BY JUNE 30, 2023.

Please visit the ADHA IOH page to donate and help us reach our goal.

The NPI number is a 10 digit number assigned to YOU as a health care provider. Collectively, it is the first step towards a state policy that changes our payment model in Virginia, as it has in 19 other states, and supports the provision of our services beyond the four walls of the traditional dental office. But it takes a concerted effort with broad participation of everyone!!

BE A PART OF THIS CHANGE TO MOVE OUR PROFESSION FORWARD!!
