2020年10月1日美国东部夏令时上午06:00佛罗里达州塔拉哈西——(美国商业资讯)——LIBERTY牙科计划(“LIBERTY”)宣布推出新的“社区微笑”计划，以帮助我们佛罗里达州的医疗补助参保人解决健康障碍，并连接到免费或低成本的社区资源。研究表明，健康的社会决定因素，包括各种行为和环境因素，是健康的障碍，对健康结果的影响可能比卫生保健更大。这些障碍——例如缺乏交通和儿童保育——也会阻止参保者获得牙科福利和坚持治疗计划，从而导致口腔健康状况不佳，牙科疾病得不到治疗，并导致旷工和旷课。LIBERTY开发了这一倡议，以支持我们的注册者并促进“全人”健康。该项目最初在加州和内华达州启动后，数千名参保者利用这个机会搜索社区项目，并与之建立联系，特别是住房、食品和医疗资源。LIBERTY创始人兼首席执行官Amir Neshat表示:“我们相信，我们在帮助我们的注册者方面处于独特的地位，我们为他们向我们寻求支持感到自豪。”LIBERTY的工作人员将帮助那些表示有社会需求的注册者搜索并与他们所在地区的社区项目建立联系。注册者可以通过以下方式访问该计划:向22925发送LDPSMILES短信;参与外展工作人员的工作; and, Inquiring with their assigned Case Manager (for enrollees participating in our Case Management Program). LIBERTY also offers enrollees the ability to self-search for programs on our website using a platform called Aunt Bertha: https://communityresources.libertydentalplan.com Aunt Bertha was started in 2010 to offer an easier way for people in need to find social services directly and electronically. Aunt Bertha has since built the largest network of free and reduced cost social assistance in every ZIP Code across the United States — this includes federal, state, county, municipal, and local programs in the biggest cities and smallest towns. “Everyone will seek help at some point in their life, whether for themselves or on behalf of someone else,” says Erine Gray, Founder and CEO of Aunt Bertha. “Which is why I’m thrilled to be working with LIBERTY Dental Plan on the ‘Community Smiles’ program. This marks the first time we’ve partnered with a dental benefits corporation and it gives us the opportunity to connect their thousands of enrollees with local services that address their unique needs.”
