Children's Volunteer Health Network

What Children's Volunteer Health Network does

Children's Volunteer Health Network (CVHN) is a Florida-registered 501(c)-style non-profit organization founded in 2005 and headquartered in Santa Rosa Beach, Florida. Its mission is to eliminate barriers to accessible and affordable healthcare for children in need through mobile solutions and community partnerships, serving Okaloosa and Walton Counties in the Florida Panhandle. The organization's primary customer segments are underserved children from preschool through 5th grade and the nonprofit and education partners (18 schools plus six named community organizations) through whom services are delivered.

The core offering is the Mobile Dental Clinic Program, operated through two state-of-the-art mobile dental units ('Pearl' and 'Niecy') that deliver 100% free preventative and restorative dental care—including cleanings, exams, x-rays, fluoride varnish, Silver Diamine Fluoride (SDF) cavity treatment, and sealants—directly at school sites. Supporting programs include the Early Intervention Preschool Program using Povidone Iodine (PVP-I) for early-age cavity reduction, the My First Toothbrush Program (dental kit distribution), the Nonprofit Partnership Program (Grins for Good) extending services through six community nonprofit partners, and the Network Urgent Care Referral Program linking approximately one-in-five children needing off-unit care to 24+ pro-bono dental and healthcare providers. Notable clinical metrics include 411 students receiving 1,506 sealants and 396 students receiving 1,405 SDF cavity treatments in the 2023-2024 school year, with 78% of students with cavities treated on-site.

CVHN's business model is donation- and grant-funded: services are provided at no cost to families, with no insurance billed. Revenue streams include private donations, foundation grants, corporate sponsorships, signature events (notably the annual 'Soiree on the Bay' fundraiser), and small affiliate programs (Amazon Smile). The organization operates with a lean team of approximately six staff—including Executive Director Megan Trent, Director of Dental Operations Christina Peterson, Community Engagement Director Arika Wilson, and Early Intervention Program Director Rose Alvarez—governed by a 13-member board of community leaders led by Board President Dr. Bradley Harrelson. Key financial supporters include the Dugas Family Foundation, which gifted the first mobile unit in 2019 and remains a Platinum event sponsor.
