Please join the Community Health Data Base staff for a discussion of two critical topics in children’s health: dental and vision care.

The discussion will address the following questions:

Which populations of children are not receiving needed dental and eye exams?

Where are the gaps in services and barriers?

How can we better reach the underserved?

The discussion will feature new data from the Community Health Data Base 2008 Household Health Survey focusing on access to dental exams, eye exams, and eyeglasses usage among children in Southeastern Pennsylvania.

This will be followed by a panel discussion with local experts in children’s health.
