HealthPath Foundation of Ohio Awards $175,000 to Three Organizations Advancing Oral Health Equity

In alignment with its 2026 strategic plan, HealthPath Foundation of Ohio (HealthPath) launched a new grant opportunity to advance oral health equity, building on its long-standing commitment to expanding access, strengthening prevention, and supporting integrated medical and dental care in Ohio through approximately $8.9 million in oral health grants awarded over the past  25  years. 

Building on the strengths of communities and  organizations serving older adults (60 and older) and individuals with disabilities, HealthPath announced it would award two-year grants to nonprofit and safety-net health organizations in fourteen counties to expand and enhance oral health equity.

As a result of the 2026 Advancing Oral Health Equity grant opportunity, three organizations were selected for funding in grant amounts ranging from $50,000 - 75,000.
