Our Focus Areas
The ASTDD Foundation advances the future of state and territorial oral health programs through investments in four core areas. Each area is designed to strengthen leadership, expand knowledge, enhance performance, and build the infrastructure needed for lasting impact.
The Four Areas
Leadership Development
We support seasoned, current, and emerging leaders with the skills, mentorship, and strategic perspective needed to navigate complex public health systems. These investments help prepare leaders to guide programs effectively today and into the future.
Education & Training
We expand access to high-quality learning opportunities that equip professionals to meet changing needs and challenges. Education and training help strengthen the workforce and support continuous growth across the oral health system.
Technical Assistance
We provide targeted expertise and support to help programs improve strategy, operations, and performance. This work helps state and territorial oral health programs solve problems, strengthen systems, and make meaningful progress.
