The Massachusetts Legislative Oral Health Caucus meets Wednesday, Feb. 3 from 10:30 am until 12:00 pm in Room 437 at the State House.
Formed in 2005, and believed to be the first in the nation, the group’s main purpose is to educate members of the General Court about the importance of oral health and its connection to overall health. The Caucus develops legislative, budgetary and regulatory strategies to improve oral health policy in the Commonwealth.
Tomorrow’s meeting will focus heavily on oral health in the budget, with presentations from caucus co-chairs Representative John Scibak and Senator Harriette Chandler. The caucus will also hear from Dr. John Morgan, current chair of the Oral Health Advocacy Taskforce, and Dr. Frank Robinson, Executive Director of Partners for a Healthier Community, Inc.
Please join us at the State House tomorrow to learn about the impact of budget cuts on oral health care and overall health of Massachusetts.
