About Us
CareQuest Institute for Oral Health is a national nonprofit championing a more equitable future where every person can reach their full potential through excellent health. We operate as a catalyst for systems change, bringing forth ideas and solutions to create a more accessible, equitable, and integrated health system for everyone. We do this through our work in grantmaking, research, health improvement programs, policy and advocacy, and education, as well as our leadership in dental benefits, care delivery, and innovation advancements. But we don’t do it alone. Collaboration and partnership are key to achieving our mission — to improve the oral health of all. We collaborate with thought leaders, health care providers, patients, and local, state and federal stakeholders to accelerate oral health care transformation and create a system designed for everyone.
Right now, that system, our health care system, is not built to work for everyone. People of color, those living in rural communities, people with disabilities, older adults, and other historically marginalized groups have been left out.
That’s where the work of CareQuest Institute come in, shining a light on a better future. As people with purpose, we solve problems in a flexible and efficient way, testing new solutions and delivering measurable outcomes for the partners, providers, patients, and stakeholders who share our vision. The values that drive our actions — innovation, collaboration, equity, and leadership — are core to our work and central to how we measure success every day.
