LOHC HOSTS EVENT – PROMOTING YOUR COMMUNITY’S FLUORIDATED WATER
Wednesday, August 21st
The Louisiana Oral Health Coalition will host a community engagement event entitled “Promoting Your Community’s Fluoridated Water” for citizens to learn more about the community’s drinking water on Wednesday, August 21, 2019 from 5:00 p.m. – 7:00 p.m. at the Natchitoches Municipal Building located on 560 Second Street, Natchitoches, Louisiana.
Established in 2009, The Louisiana Oral Health Coalition is a voluntary collaborative consisting of individuals and organizations throughout the state who are dedicated to improving the oral health of all Louisianans. The LOHC’s four main priorities are to: Increase access to quality, comprehensive, and continuous oral health services for all Louisiana citizens throughout their life stages; influence policy, environmental or systems change and maintain continuous visibility to support, advocate and collaborate on relevant oral health matter; impact and maintain oral health, and prevent the progression of oral disease through evidence based interventions that address risk factors and at-risk populations; and improve efforts to ensure the preparation recruitment, and retention of an oral health workforce that is adequate and skilled, so that it may better serve the state’s population.
The LOHC encourages everyone in the community to attend this event. For more information contact the LHOC at LAOralHealthCoalition@LA.GOV or contact City Hall at 318-352-2772.
