| Community Catalyst and the National Indian Health Board are launching the National Partnership for Dental Therapy to accelerate the authorization of dental therapists nationwide so that people can get care where and when they need it, in their own communities. The newly formed National Partnership for Dental Therapy comprises community leaders, consumers, advocates, educators, providers and public health champions. The National Partnership will work to elevate the visibility and broad support for dental therapy programs. It will actively share accurate, evidence-based information about the profession as it evolves and serve as a forum for supporters to share information and connect with each other to continue to grow the profession.
