"Abner Mason, founder and CEO of SameSky Health, hosted a discussion with Myechia Minter-Jordan (MD, MBA), president and CEO, and Kaz Rafia (DDS, MBA, MPH), chief health equity officer of CareQuest Institute for Oral Health. Despite the growing understanding of the relationship between oral health and systemic disease, oral health care often remains siloed from the rest of the health care system."
"The inability of medical and dental providers to access and contribute to shared patient records continues to be a huge barrier to an integrated health system," says Rebekah Mathews, MPA, vice president of health transformation for CareQuest Institute for Oral Health."
"Myechia Minter-Jordan is another name that should be familiar to the Root audience. (She’s written for The Root and appeared at The Root Institute alongside other Root 100 honorees). Jordan is president and CEO of the CareQuest Institute for Oral Health and a passionate advocate for health equity!"
