The Delta Dental Institute receives recognition award from the Hispanic Dental Association

In June, Kristen Fischer, Delta Dental Plans Association’s Director of National Programming and Public Affairs, attended the Hispanic Dental Association (HDA) Annual Meeting on behalf of the Delta Dental Institute (DDI). The meeting was inspiring and demonstrated HDA's continued commitment to improving oral and overall health outcomes for Hispanic and other underserved communities.

At the meeting, DDI received a recognition award for its sponsorship, dedication, and support of HDA. HDA is one of the Delta Dental Oral Health Diversity Fund’s inaugural awardees, whose program, BOLD: Building Our Leaders in Dentistry, is a pre-dental school mentorship program designed to introduce dentistry as a career option to students and influence more underrepresented minorities to enter the profession. Outreach presentations and workshops will be geared toward Head Start, elementary school, high school, and undergraduate students.
