The Maine Dental Access Coalition has named its 2012 Oral Health Heroes, according to a news story in the Bangor Daily News.
The award is given to people and programs that have demonstrated outstanding leadership and a strong commitment to improving the state of oral health in Maine through oral health advocacy, organizing, and service.
"This year's heroes were chosen for their willingness to explore and support new models of delivering oral healthcare," said Susan Cote, coalition vice chairwoman in the story.
They include state Sen. Christopher Rector (R-Thomaston) and state Rep. Mark Eves (D-North Berwick), as well as Waterville Pediatrics and Timothy Oh, founder of Caring Hands of Maine of Ellsworth.
