• In 2009, we became aware that Lake County residents had among the worst oral health outcomes in our state. We began collaborating with Lake County Public Health and Healthy Start to bring oral healthcare into the schools—and the Smiles Program was born. The program significantly improved children’s oral health. Today, the program continues to expand oral healthcare to families throughout all our service areas in Lake and Mendocino Counties.
• We established pediatric services at Lakeview.
• We transitioned from paper to electronic medical records, which helped us increase efficiency.
