Boston, Oct. 04, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — DentaQuest, the nation’s largest provider of Medicaid and CHIP dental solutions, today announced a $500,000 contribution to the Florida Disaster Fund, which assists Florida’s communities as they respond to and recover during times of disaster. In addition to the donation, DentaQuest is sending oral health kits — filled with toothbrushes, toothpaste and floss — to relief centers across Florida and matching 100% of employee donations to Hurricane Ian relief efforts in the month of October.
“In the wake of Hurricane Ian, it’s clear that the road to recovery will not be easy, but we are here to support Florida,” DentaQuest President Steve Pollock said. “Individuals have lost their homes and communities have been devastated, but together we can rebuild. We’re proud to support the Florida Disaster Fund and call on others to make a pledge toward relief efforts.”
DentaQuest’s donation marks the beginning of a series of activities to help Floridians in the aftermath of Hurricane Ian. In addition to supporting the rebuilding efforts, DentaQuest, provides government dental benefits administration in the state and continues to work with Medicaid enrollees and dentists to help those affected by the storm get the support they need. DentaQuest works with more than 1,800 dental providers in the state of Florida who serve roughly 2 million Floridians. Many of the people they serve reside in some of the hardest hit areas devastated by Hurricane Ian.
