The Northeast Delta Dental Foundation has awarded a $15,000 grant to Crotched Mountain Foundation to improve dental health care for low-income adults with disabilities and chronic health conditions served by Crotched Mountain Community Care (CMCC).
Crotched Mountain Community Care provides independent case management to individuals served by the Choices for Independence (CFI) waiver. CMCC case managers coordinate needed services to help adults with disabilities and other unique needs remain independent in their communities.
Funding from Northeast Delta Dental Foundation offers support for diverse, critical oral health needs of CMCC clients. As CMCC serves a population that frequently has barriers to accessing dental care, which includes a lack of insurance or the personal funds, this grant is likely their only option for treatment. Northeast Delta Dental Foundation has provided previous grants to support CMCC clients receiving dental services.
“The Northeast Delta Dental Foundation continues to be an incredible partner,” said Kara Nickulas, Executive Director of Adult Programs for Crotched Mountain Foundation. “Thanks to their generous grant, our clients have the opportunity to receive proper oral care, which greatly improves their quality of life. We are grateful for their support. They are truly making a difference.”
“We are proud to support the Crotched Mountain Community Care Program in their vital mission to provide the comprehensive oral healthcare its clients deserve,” explained Jennifer Beyer, Senior Manager, Corporate Giving Northeast Delta Dental. “By funding preventive treatment for low-income adults with complex disabilities, we hope to help eliminate the barriers of cost and accessibility that too often result in painful, avoidable emergencies.”
