ATSU-ASDOH partners with UHF
Posted: April 3, 2009United Health Foundation (UHF) has committed $100,000 to ATSU-ASDOH to provide loan repayment for ASDOH graduates practicing in community health centers.
“The United Health Foundation is proud to partner with the Arizona School of Dentistry & Oral Health at A.T. Still University to support the Connect the Docs Graduate Loanship Program,” said Daniel Johnson, president and executive director of the foundation. “Through this partnership, we hope to improve the dental health of some of our nation’s most vulnerable citizens by providing trained dentists to serve in community health centers. The dental professional shortage in underserved communities cannot be solved by any one organization. We challenge other foundations and corporations to invest in healthier communities by supporting programs such as this.”
