In 2001, California Primary Care Association (CPCA) and the Dental Health Foundation (DHF) together launched the Oral Health Access Council (OHAC), a major campaign aimed at solving California's oral disease epidemic. OHAC is a multi-lateral, non-partisan effort directed toward improving the oral health status of the state's traditionally underserved and vulnerable populations. With a membership of over 50 organizations representing a diversity of oral health stakeholders, OHAC has become California's most broad-based and unified voice for oral health.
