Support services company Benevis has announced the launch of its nonprofit foundation.
The foundation will focus on improving dental health access and outcomes among underserved populations. For dentists, it will sponsor continuing education courses.
"Through research, education, and outreach initiatives geared toward improving access, the foundation hopes to make quality, affordable dental care a reality for many more patients across the United States," said Geoffrey Freeman, a Benevis Foundation spokesperson, in a press release.
The foundation's research projects will include analyses of dental delivery models and cost savings associated with improving early access to dental care. It will also sponsor and produce dental health education events and resources, including dental health lesson plans for K-5 classrooms.
