Working together for accessible, equitable and sustainable health care.
To care for those in need is at the heart of the CDA Foundation. Through the generosity of countless volunteers and donors, we’re creating lasting change for California’s most vulnerable citizens. The Foundation is making an impact on health equity in our state throughcomprehensive and ongoing direct patient care, education, mental health and wellness, dental practice staffing pathways, and results-driven grants and awards.
CDA Cares exemplifies the best of our dental community in action. We’re impacting lives, restoring dignity and creating smiles.
Dentists receive confidential support for substance use disorder and mental health issues including burnout through CDA’s Wellness Program.
