About the Role

Join a team making a difference!

Where We Started

In 2005, an alarming number of children were arriving in Green Bay area emergency rooms with dental pain and infections. A dedicated group of community volunteers with the Green Bay Rotary decided to do something about it and created an initiative in 2005 called Healthy Teeth, Healthy Kids, a mobile, in-school dental clinic. From this program, the Oral Health Partnership was created. In 2007, we became a 501(c)3 and opened our first clinic at the Howe Community Resource Center.

Where We Are

In addition to our School-Based and clinic services, in 2010 through a partnership with St. Vincent Hospital, we added hospital services. This allows us to provide dental treatment under general anesthesia for young children, highly anxious patients, and children and youth with special healthcare needs.

Where We’re Going

We will continue to grow and evolve until every child in Brown County has access to quality dental care. This includes expanding our clinics, visiting schools all over the county, and outreach to where we can treat our community's children. Every child deserves a healthy smile, and we are committed to making sure they can get one!

Mission

OHP exists to change the lives of our communities’ children through access to excellent oral health services and education.
