Abstract This presentation speaks to many issues upon which the American Dental Hygienists' Association and the American Public Health Association agree. The boundaries are limitless for ADHA and APHA to work together to increase access to preventive care and to establish the dental hygienist as the provider to preventive dental care. Shaping the Nation's Health Agenda through coalition building is a way to the future for total body wellness and optimum oral health.
