The DentaQuest Health
Equity Hero Awards honors individuals or organizations improving health
care access for people with the greatest needs and fewest resources. The 2023
Health Equity Heroes have demonstrated unique ways we benefit from health
connectors. Health connectors are forward thinkers taking action to remedy and
eliminate systemic disparities in an effort to make health systems more
welcoming to all.
