NDA-HEALTH NOW™

The National Dental Association has embarked on a national, community-based, grassroots

health initiative. It replicates and takes to scale key features of the Deamonte Driver Dental

Project (DDDP), the award winning initiative based in Prince Georges County, MD and the

Washington, DC metro area, that helped Maryland move from dead last in oral health care to

number ONE in the country. NDA-HEALTH NOW™ will expand the areas of care to include

in addition to dental care, medical and vision care; and will expand the target populations to

include not only underserved children, but also the elderly and racial and ethnic minorities.

The program launched in Chicago and Dallas in 2013, and launched in New Orleans and New

York in 2014.

The expansion project features plans for “mixed-use” mobile health units equipped for

medical screening, vision screening, and dental services; but is also designed for

implementation with or without mobile units. The new initiative will provide resources and

services to underserved communities, and will work to 1) increase health care access; 2)

eliminate health disparities; 3) increase health literacy; and 4) promote prevention. It will also

feature: inter-professional workforce teams (including physicians, optometrists, nurses and

physician’s assistants); partnerships with community organizations, academic institutions,

faith based entities; and affiliations with community health centers, Federally Qualified Health

Centers, schools and senior citizen communities.

About the National Dental Association - Established in 1913, the NDA is the world’s first

and largest organization of ethnic minority oral health professionals. It represents more than

10,000 African American dentists in the U.S. and abroad. The NDA is dedicated to

representing the concerns of ethnic minorities in dentistry and to eliminating disparities in

health in underserved communities. The NDA, a 501(c) 3 entity with 36 local chapters in the

U.S., is the umbrella organization for the Student National Dental Association, the National

Dental Assistants’ Association, the National Dental Hygienists’ Association, the

Undergraduate SNDA and the Auxiliary to the NDA (spouses). The NDA Foundation is the

education, research and scholarship arm of the organization.

NDA members constitute a massive network of providers and volunteers across America who

have been the backbone of programs that strive to reach millions of underserved children and

their families who do not have access to health care. The organization is dedicated to

supporting their members to remain in communities where they are needed most; and to

increasing access to health care. The NDA-HEALTH NOW™ Project will leverage the time

and efforts of dental, medical, and vision care practitioners so that maximum benefit is

received by patients in underserved and vulnerable communities.

In addition, key elements will include: 1) establishing referral networks for Medicaid and

Medicare patients; 2) compiling resource directories of providers and pharmacies; and 3)

developing and disseminating culturally and linguistically appropriate integrated medical-

dental messages. Collaborations will be cultivated with other health professional groups, and

multi-cultural organizations.
