The County College of Morris has received a $100,000 SMILE grant from the Delta Dental of New Jersey Foundation, Inc. to support development and implementation of two forthcoming dental programs, Dental Assisting and Dental Hygiene.
Each program will be housed in CCM’s highly anticipated Center for Health Professions.
The grant was established in memory of Dr. Gene F. Napoliello, who for decades served as the chairperson of the Delta Dental Foundation and was a passionate advocate for creating greater access to dental care for all.
“CCM is thankful to Delta Dental for this funding and is excited to partner with them and area dentists to meet the growing demand for dental services throughout Morris County,” said Dr. Anthony J. Iacono, president of CCM.
“We are incredibly appreciative for the support throughout the State that allows the college to begin implementation of these programs in the near future.”
The Center for Health Professions at CCM is funded through the state of New Jersey with substantial support from Gov. Phil Murphy, Sens. Joseph Pennachio, Paul Sarlo, Anthony Bucco, Nicholas Scutari and former Sen. Steven Oroho.
