State Oral Health Plan

2023 - 2027

Oral Health Ohio is Pleased to Release the 2023-2027 State Oral Health Plan (SOHP)

Oral Health Ohio contracted with the Health Policy Institute of Ohio to facilitate and create the 2023-2027 State Plan, which is designed to guide actions taken by policymakers, advocates, educators, providers, and funders.

 

The vision of the State Plan is that all Ohioans will have optimal oral health during every stage of life. To achieve the vision, the State Plan presents goals and action steps that partners can advance together. These action steps are paired with considerations for prioritizing equity and data to track progress.

 

The plan was developed with input from approximately 200 Ohioans from across the state through healthcare provider focus groups, consumer focus groups, and a multi-sector advisory committee.

 

For questions about this State Oral Health Plan, please email Marla Morse.

Thank you to the CareQuest Institute for Oral Health for their funding support of the State Plan.
