What Is SAM?

“Smiles Across Michigan” (SAM) is a statewide endeavor to improve the oral health of people with developmental disabilities by assessing oral health needs, developing strategies for addressing those needs, and providing education and advocacy to encourage better oral hygiene and motivate accessible and appropriate care by oral health care professionals.  In July, 2007, Community Living Services, Inc. (CLS, Inc.) received a three-year grant from the Michigan Developmental Disabilities Council to conduct this special project.   CLS, Inc. is a 501c3 non-profit organization that provides supports and services to more than 2,700 adults and children with developmental disabilities in Wayne and Oakland Counties.  Many other organizations throughout the state will be collaborating with us during the next three years.  These organizations include: 

Michigan Developmental Disabilities Council  
Michigan Dept. of Community Health
 
Michigan Dental Association  

Michigan Oral Health Coalition

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 


Univ Of Detroit Mercy School of Dentistry
SCHOOL OF DENTISTRY
