Corporate Partnerships
We work with mission-aligned industry partners to advance the future of oral and integrated health.
Partnering for Greater Impact
Our strategic partnerships combine funding, industry expertise, and hands-on guidance for corporate, technology, and innovation leaders to accelerate and scale high-impact solutions that address current business priorities and health care gaps.
Our partners are a vital part of our ecosystem. In addition to collaborating with partners on startup innovation through SMILE Health and ACCELERATE, we work closely with payers, providers, dental service organizations (DSOs), distributors, technology and consumer leaders on national initiatives including:
Preventive Health Screenings in Dental Settings
We’re working with partners to embed essential medical screenings—including blood pressure and A1C diabetes testing—into routine dental visits. These efforts support earlier disease detection, close care gaps, and strengthen the connection between medical and dental care.
Integrating Interoperability Technology into Electronic Dental Records (EDRs)
We partner with technology leaders to integrate dental into the nation’s core health information exchange infrastructure. Through embedding interoperability technology directly into clinical workflow via EDRs, providers are able to communicate across medical and dental care, improving care coordination and patient outcomes across settings.
Industry Activation and Change at HLTH
At our Oral Health Pavilion at HLTH, we elevate the message that oral health is health to a wide, diverse audience of health care leaders. This showcase activates stakeholders across the ecosystem, drives industry awareness, advances adoption of medical-dental integration, and shifts perceptions about what’s possible.
Featured Partnerships
BRIDGE Health Network with Henry Schein
Established by Henry Schein and CareQuest, BRIDGE is a curated network of health care professionals committed to advancing systemic models of care and strengthening disease prevention through medical-dental integration. The initiative’s inaugural pilots focus on incorporating diabetes screenings into routine dental hygiene visits. Participating care teams provide point-of-care testing, share educational resources, and coordinate follow-up care—helping identify risks earlier and connect patients to the support they need.
Electronic Dental Records (EDR) Interoperability with Kno2
While national interoperability infrastructure exists, dental care remains largely disconnected from the broader health information exchange ecosystem, limiting care coordination and medical-dental integration—particularly for seniors, medically complex, and underserved populations. CareQuest and Kno2, the nation's leading full-stack health care communication infrastructure and a federally designated Qualified Health Information Network (QHIN), are partnering to accelerate real-time dental and medical clinical information sharing, at scale. The work will improve care coordination, enhance quality and safety across care settings, establish a lasting foundation for medical-dental integration.
PDS Health Blood Pressure Screenings
As strong evidence exists on the connection between oral and cardiovascular health, CareQuest and PDS Health are working together to standardize and scale workflows for blood pressure screenings and patient consultation across its dental and integrated care practices. This initiative will generate insights on the prevalence of undiagnosed hypertension detectable through dental settings, estimate medical cost savings associated with earlier detection and referral into medical care, and strengthen the business case for scale.
