OUR MISSION

The Student Oral Health Initiative at Drexel University College of Medicine aims to facilitate an appreciation and understanding of oral health as a vital and necessary component to total health.  We believe that by working together with our community we can help begin the task of building a more centralized “Health Home.”  This concept establishes the integration of oral health into total health within the minds of our health professionals and our community.
