Overview
Mission
OFHESJ is a collaborative of agencies organizations and individuals concerned about minority and multicultural health health equity social justice and the elimination of health disparities for racial ethnic populations.
What it reported doing in 2025
This project created an advocacy campaign with the Grandparent Kinship School Based Oral Health Network to protect Medicaid oral health benefits and school-based oral health services from potential funding cuts. The campaign mobilized kinship caregivers with lived experience to advocate against reductions in eligibility services and expansion efforts. Building on previous grants focused on oral health access and caregiver advocacy the initiative used existing data and community engagement to strengthen public support for Medicaid and oral health services for children and kinship families. The coalition partnered with Black and Brown oral health providers to connect with communities and promote community-driven oral health policies.
