Made possible by a grant from the Washington Dental Service Foundation, the CHC Dental Learning Network is a peer-to-peer collaborative network for Community Health Center dental directors to support improvements in oral health care in Washington State.
Four Learning Network sessions will be held each year in varying locations to encourage maximum participation from all health centers. Continuing Dental Education credits will be available for each Learning Network session.
