Harmony Health

What Harmony Health does

Harmony Health Foundation is a US-based nonprofit organization founded in 2023 and headquartered in Carlsbad, California, with approximately 10 employees. Its mission is to advance health equity by improving access to preventive oral health care, education, and data-informed solutions for underserved populations, including individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD), aging adults, and rural communities across Dental Health Professional Shortage Areas. Core programs include the Tennessee DDA Oral Health Program (Year 3), the United Concordia Salivary Biometrics Pilot in Pennsylvania, the Smiles Connected Idaho teledentistry pilot, and the West Virginia Oral Health Coalition partnership, collectively reaching 2,480+ people through 7 completed initiatives across 6 states between 2023 and 2025.

The organization's technology stack combines saliva-based point-of-care diagnostics (Oral Genome™), AI imaging for oral health assessment, teledentistry triage, and digital oral health tools such as the TruthBrush™ smart toothbrush attachment. Programs are operationalized through state government contracts (Tennessee Department of Disability and Aging), insurer partnerships (United Concordia, Avēsis), dental organization coalitions (Pennsylvania Coalition for Oral Health, AIDPH, West Virginia Oral Health Coalition, Delta Dental Idaho), CSR support (Henry Schein Cares, Dental Lifeline Network), and technology integrations (Dentistry One). The model relies on partnerships rather than direct-to-consumer delivery.

Harmony Health is funded primarily through grants, government contracts, and corporate partnerships rather than user fees or commercial pricing. The organization generates no disclosed revenue, has no institutional investors, no parent company, and no subsidiaries. Leadership comprises founder Dr. Tina Saw and interim Executive Director Kendra Flowers (appointed 2026). Sub-brands include the AdvocaEquity™ initiative and the Toothbooth Tennessee YouTube educational series, and the organization publishes landscape research, prevention studies, and policy analyses to support advocacy and program design.

Scale indicators3 records

Recent moves3 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Direct peers

• National Network for Oral Health Access (NNOHA): A membership organization supporting safety-net oral health providers serving underserved populations. NNOHA is comparable in focusing on workforce and access solutions for low-income and vulnerable patients, including those with IDD and in rural communities.
• CareQuest Institute for Oral Health: A leading national nonprofit dedicated to oral health equity through research, grantmaking, and policy advocacy. CareQuest is highly comparable in operating model (research + grant-funded programs targeting underserved communities) and overlaps directly in the dental access for IDD/aging space.
• Dental Lifeline Network: A nonprofit that coordinates donated dental care for vulnerable populations including the elderly, disabled, and medically fragile. Already a listed partner of Harmony Health, DLN is a direct peer serving overlapping target populations (IDD and aging) through a different (volunteer-clinician) delivery model.
• American Institute of Dental Public Health (AIDPH): A research and policy nonprofit focused on oral health equity and workforce development. AIDPH is a direct research partner of Harmony Health (joint publications on IDD dental access) and operates with a near-identical mission of using data and advocacy to expand access for underserved populations.

Others

• Community Catalyst: A national nonprofit advocacy organization advancing health equity through state-level policy and coalition building. Comparable in using research and partnerships to drive equitable access to care, though its scope is broader than Harmony Health's oral-health focus.
• Henry Schein Cares Foundation: The corporate social responsibility arm of Henry Schein, a major dental product distributor. Already a 2026 Harmony Health partner, it is a comparable supporter of oral health equity initiatives — relevant as an ecosystem/funder peer rather than direct program operator.

Broad incumbents

• Delta Dental Foundation: The philanthropic arm of the Delta Dental Plans Association, funding community oral health programs nationwide. Already a current Harmony Health partner (Delta Dental Idaho), the Foundation is a comparable funder/operator in oral health access with far broader resources.
• DentaQuest: One of the largest U.S. dental benefits administrators and an active funder of oral health equity programs through the DentaQuest Foundation. DentaQuest is comparable in advancing oral health equity but operates at a vastly larger scale with commercial insurance products.
• Association of State and Territorial Dental Directors (ASTDD): A national nonprofit representing state dental directors and supporting state-level oral health policy and program implementation. ASTDD is comparable in working with state governments to address dental workforce shortages and access disparities, including for IDD and aging populations.
• American Dental Association Foundation (ADA Foundation): The charitable arm of the American Dental Association, supporting access-to-care initiatives, research, and education. Comparable as an incumbent in dental public health grantmaking and education, though operating as part of a much wider professional association portfolio.
