Verber Dental Group Announces Partnership with Delta Dental Community Care Foundation and Central Penn College
In a recent ABC27 Good Day PA segment, Dr. Michael Verber and Tina Greenawalt from the Delta Dental Community Care Foundation announced an exciting partnership aimed at addressing Pennsylvania’s dental workforce shortage. Delta Dental has provided a significant grant to Central Penn College to help cover start-up costs for their dental education programs. Dr. Verber emphasized that Delta Dental’s commitment to access to care demonstrates their dedication to ensuring members receive quality oral health services by creating more dental providers—setting an example that could have statewide impact.
The Delta Dental Community Care Foundation, the philanthropic arm of Delta Dental of California and affiliates (including Delta Dental of Pennsylvania), has invested over $200 million across 15 states since 2012, with $15 million dedicated to Pennsylvania. The foundation focuses on expanding access to oral health care, advancing health equity, and workforce development in underserved communities. A large portion of the scholarships will benefit students from underserved areas across Pennsylvania, helping to address the oral health care needs of over 2 million state residents who currently lack access to care. Students can learn more about scholarship opportunities at CentralPenn.edu/scholarships.
