During our first year, we will focus on improving the capacity and utilization of affordable, preventive and integrated oral health services in Macomb County. 

We will address this by first implementing a survey among Macomb County residents to determine where and how residents are accessing oral health services. The workgroup will develop the survey and administer the survey to community partners and organizations. The survey will be implemented at faith based organizations, community centers, medical care facilities, and more. 

We will also determine what oral health resources already exist that serve the target population. The workgroup will work together to identify these resources and to determine whether they realistically support the identified population.
