Health Care Advocacy

Dental Care

Health is a state of physical, mental, and social well-being. The term "health care" encompasses services and supports that assist in attaining, maintaining, and improving skills, function, and community participation. Health care includes all aspects of physical, mental, and behavioral health including wellness, health promotion and preventative services, vision, hearing, oral and dental health care, substance use disorder and addiction services, medication management, pre-natal care, reproductive and sexual health, rehabilitation, pain management and palliative care.

All people, including people with intellectual and/or developmental disabilities (IDD), should have timely access to high quality, comprehensive, accessible, affordable, appropriate health care that meets their individual needs; maximizes their health, well-being, and function; and increases their independence and community participation.
