To better support you as we introduce the Special Health Care Needs Benefit, DDKS has partnered with the University of Kansas Medical Center and Oral Health Kansas to offer a free, live educational series to help dental professionals better serve patients with disabilities.

This initiative reflects our commitment to removing barriers to care and improving oral health for all Kansans.
