David and Ilene Flaum Eye Institute
Educational support helped provide unique opportunities for advanced, specialized dental education and training, and for expanding areas of study such as delivering care to older adults that helps manage chronic diseases and degenerative illnesses.
Annual funds also supported community outreach dentistry, providing care via teledentistry across upstate New York, in clinics, hospitals, and community health centers across Rochester, and in mobile vans that care for children in city schools and rural areas, and care for children and adults with physical, developmental, or intellectual disabilities, as well as other medically challenging conditions.
Funds also supported our top-ranked national research that is gaining international attention for a wide variety of breakthrough discoveries, from fundamental science to oral cancer, and bone loss to pain management.
