Hello and welcome to the Oral Health Coalition Web Portal, an interactive site where you can learn or share information on oral health coalitions. This site is intended to be a resource for oral health coalitions across the country and was developed through a Cooperative Agreement between Oral Health America and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

The Oral Health Coalitions Web Portal will enable you to network with other coalition members, share information, build relationships, engage in conversations on relevant topics and receive guidance on current trends in coalition building.

As a member of this community, you are invited to participate in discussions, ask questions, share best practices and ideas, participate in trainings, make announcements, propose collaborative projects, see the latest oral health news, and stay in touch with others.

Some site offerings include:

• Community Forums--Pose questions and engage in conversations with other members and topic experts about specific issues.
• Resources --Post and find documents of interest, tools, samples, and presentations
• My Account-Manage your account settings and personal information.

Seeking additional help? Oral Health America provides technical assistance on:

• Communications and media outreach,
• Program development,
• Partnership development,
• and fundraising.
