2017-2018: The purpose of the Michigan Initiative for Maternal and Infant Oral Health is to improve oral health of mothers and children in under-served areas. The grant-funded effort began as a 1-year projectat 6 pilot sites. The initial aim was to examine the feasibility and impact of placing a registered dental hygienist within an OBGYN medical clinic. While the approach was an important first step toward reaching patients in the inaugural year, it was essential to strategically plan a more robust sustainable model while concurrently building the new program.
