Physically and Developmentally Disabled Adults and Children

Another way the Foundation ensures that those people who do not have access to traditional dental care receive treatment is by funding organizations that provide dental care to physically and developmentally disabled adults and children. These organizations include:

Matheny Medical and Educational Center - we helped establish a dental clinic that provides dental care to people with neuromuscular physical conditions such as cerebral palsy, spina bifida and muscular dystrophy. This clinic also serves as an educational and training facility for the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey (UMDNJ)
Morristown Memorial Hospital - provides dental care to underserved and developmentally disabled people
New Jersey Foundation of Dentistry for Persons with Disabilities - provides dental care for elderly and mentally and physically disabled people of all ages with disorders such as multiple sclerosis
Ocean Health Initiatives - offers emergency dental care to underserved and developmentally disabled adults and children

Testimonial:

"Delta Dental of New Jersey's partnership is a linchpin in providing increased access to dental care to children and adults with disabilities -- historically the most ignored and underserved patient population." - Dr. Gary Eddey, Medical Director of Matheny Medical and Educational Center and Director of Matheny's Center of Medicine and Dentistry, 2005
