When Katherine Adams became Access to Care Director for the ODF in March, she noticed an unintentional trend in mobile unit scheduling. Many cities were being frequented more than others, thus, there was a gap in areas served. While we value the sites we visit on a regular basis, we wanted our program to accurately represent and serve the entire state.
Katherine and the Access to Care Committee then set a goal to visit all 77 Oklahoma counties by the end of the year, and back-dated to 2010 to begin the journey. Some counties we have visited previously, just not since 2010. When we set our goal, 30 counties were left and we have made great efforts working with the State Department of Health and each county’s Dental Health Educator to make our goal a reality. We want them aware of our program and its benefits so we can see as many Oklahomans as possible – some of them for the first time.
We'll provide updated maps as our journey progresses!
If you can connect us with a county we have yet to serve, please let us know!
