About "Leave No Vet Behind"
A brief history - On September 11, 2009 four dentists from the Cincinnati Dental Society provided free dental screenings to over 110 veterans on the grounds of the VA Medical Center in Cincinnati. The event was the first of the new “Leave No Vet Behind” initiative. The program was created when the Cincinnati Dental Society became aware that only 8 to 10% of veterans in the area were eligible to receive dental care at the VA Medical Center. We targeted those Veterans who cycled through the VA’s emergency department every other month for antibiotics to treat dental infections. The primary sources of the infection were never addressed since they could not qualify for the VA’s stringent requirements and could not afford the co-pays at the city’s dental clinics. To date, over 1000 Veterans have received donated dental care in the amount of $1 million by volunteer specialists and general dentists. To continue this effort on an annual basis, we depend on support from our community as well as grants.
