Story Behind the Curve
The primary goal of the Macomb County Oral Health Coalition is to improve oral health services for all Macomb County residents. One of the objectives is that by December 2023, communication and outreach efforts will increase from zero to 165 per year. To achieve this goal and objective, one of the actions is to utilize social media (Facebook, Twitter) by posting eight oral health messages per month (four on each Facebook and Twitter). This performance measure demonstrates the progress that has been made in 2019.
