"Affordable, quality, oral health care should be accessible for everyone," said Steve Pollock, president, Dental, Sun Life U.S. "The health workforce shortage is being felt nationwide. Addressing it long term starts with support in our local communities to engage, educate and enable the dentists and hygienists of tomorrow. Supporting the Interfaith Clinic's student mentorship program will help increase the number of providers treating Tennesseans most in need, and we are proud to contribute to that effort."
美國太陽人壽牙科總裁史蒂夫·波洛克說：“每個人都應該能夠獲得負擔得起、優質的口腔醫療保健。全國範圍內都感受到了衛生人員的短缺。長期解決這個問題首先要支持我們的當地社區，讓他們參與、教育和培養未來的牙醫和衛生員。支持Interfaith Clinic的學生指導計劃將有助於增加爲田納西州最需要幫助的人提供治療的提供者的數量，我們很自豪能夠爲這項工作做出貢獻。”
"We are grateful for the continued support DentaQuest has provided for the last decade, helping us serve the people of Tennessee who need better access to oral health care," said Dr. Rhonda Switzer-Nadasdi, CEO, Interfaith Dental. "DentaQuest is helping grow the number of dental providers in the state, supporting Medicaid populations and making it easier for these communities to get and stay healthy."
