Safety Net Solutions answers the urgent need to preserve and strengthen the oral health safety net programs that serve 16 million uninsured and medically underserved Americans.

Oral health safety net providers are critical to improving individual and community health. Challenged by poor reimbursement, operational difficulties and limited resources, these programs historically struggle to maintain financial viability.

Safety Net Solutions is demonstrating that by employing targeted strategies that balance mission and business, oral health safety net providers can become more efficient, effective and financially sustainable. The preservation and growth of existing programs and the creation of new service-delivery models and settings will create a stronger safety net.

Interest among programs, funders and consultants has reached critical mass. The initial success of Safety Net Solutions proves that individualized systems change works. The time for action is now.
