Adekugbe Olayinka DMD,MSC,MPH
Olayinka Adekugbe DMD 22 completed a dental public health residency at the University of Iowa in Iowa City—where she found that many African immigrants and refugees enrolled in Medicaid and living in Iowa were unaware that there was a dental wellness plan included in their health insurance. So Adekugbe created the Oral Health Program Project, which aims to make oral health care accessible to immigrants.
The Oral Health Program was initiated with a specific focus on empowering vulnerable immigrant populations in Iowa. Efforts have included providing dental services and screenings in underserved communities.. Generous funding from Delta Dental has enabled ORAL HEALTH PROGRAM to launch a project aimed at broadening access to dental care for immigrants and underserved populations in Indiana Iowa and Missouri.
