Community Outreach
 

In Tucson
Celebrating 49 years of service to the Tucson community, St. Elizabeth’s Health Center has provided dental care since 1961. Their integrated medical and dental model leverages the services of more than 150 volunteer providers. Reported by the Arizona Department of Health Services as the lowest cost of all community based dental clinics in the state, St. Elizabeth's offers dental cleanings, fluoride treatments, sealants, radiology, restorative care and oral health education. With financial assistance from the Delta Dental of Arizona Foundation, their dental clinic has recently doubled their capacity and can now serve an additional 500 children. We are privileged to support the efforts of St. Elizabeth of Hungary Clinic.



Back to School
Every July, in the middle of the hot, dry summer, lines of school buses patiently wait to unload groups of young shoppers from across Phoenix. For one week, every year for the past 40, the Annual Back-to-School Clothing Drive, aided by more than one thousand volunteers helps thousands of students from low-income families prepare for a new school year.

In 2006, an enthusiastic group of employees from Delta Dental of Arizona helped students pick out outfits, uniforms, backpacks and school supplies. This year, the Association will stuff 7,600 backpacks and the Foundation is proud to be a provider of their toothpaste, floss and toothbrushes.

 

Dental Supply Donation
Ensuring the community has the tools necessary to attain and maintain good oral hygiene is the first step in improving our community’s oral health. Unfortunately, far too many children are forced to share their toothbrushes with siblings and other family members. The gift of something as simple as a new toothbrush can go a long way in bringing a smile to the face of a child.

Delta Dental of Arizona Foundation is committed to donating dental hygiene supplies to organizations who promote health to those with the greatest need in our state. In 2009, the Foundation donated over 67,000 dental kits to the community. To request a donation, please complete the form in the following link.
