Oral Health Education Program
Program Description
The Health Trust provides oral health outreach and education through promotoras who are community health workers trained on general concepts about oral health. The promotoras conduct outreach in English and various languages to recruit families to host home meetings where the oral health education is delivered to small groups of children and adults. Emphasis is placed on the four habits to a healthy smile: proper brushing, daily flossing, balanced diet and seeing the dentist on a regular basis. Last year, more than 1,000 individuals received oral health education in homes and community sites.

Our Vision:
The Health Trust believes every Silicon Valley resident should have the opportunity to live a healthy life.
How:
We at The Health Trust believe that if Silicon Valley is a community where innovation is changing the world, then it also can be a community where innovation changes the lives of everyone - especially our most vulnerable residents - for the better.
As we strive to make our vision reality, we reflect the values of Silicon Valley. When we tackle a problem, we take the broad view. We rely on expertise, partnerships and best practices to generate solutions that will have the greatest impact on those we serve. We invest in projects that are sustainable, show measurable results and provide the greatest return on investment for the community.
With a strong emphasis on prevention, we focus our work through three initiatives: Healthy Living, Healthy Aging and Healthy Communities. Through direct services, we are helping one person at a time. And through policy advocacy and grantmaking, we are changing the local environment to promote healthy eating, healthy aging and healthy living.
