About Us
"Health equity above everything"
The Wayne County Oral Health Coalition (WCOHC) is an initiative of the United Health Organization, one of seven coalitions based in Michigan that collaborate with the Michigan Oral Health Coalition (MOHC) and is a part of the Oral Health Progress and Equity Network (OPEN).
​
WCOHC is dedicated to the mission of educating and advocating for vulnerable and underserved populations to have equitable access to quality, affordable oral health that improves overall health and social justice.
​
We are working to bridge gaps in the public's perception of the value of oral health to overall health, and we invite you to join us. The Coalition comprises a cross-section of our community - dentists, teachers, students, first responders, faith leaders, social workers, health departments, community clinics, and research labs. No matter who you are or what group you belong to, we need your voice at the table for the fight for health equity.
