Project Spotlight
Improving the Oral Health of Iowa Veterans
As our Iowa Veteran Oral Health Report, published in collaboration with Delta Dental of Iowa Foundation, revealed, former service members in Iowa experience significantly higher rates of missing teeth, inflammatory diseases, heart disease, and diabetes, among other issues.
This year, AIDPH will continue the work as it facilitates listening and learning sessions and develops resources and materials that advocates can use to build collective capacity and relationships for broader, long-term systemic impact. Join our first listening and learning session Improving the Oral Health of Iowa Veterans Through Policy on April 29, 2024. Register here.
