The Florida Veterans Foundation (FVF) has announced the continuation of its Veterans Dental Program into 2026. This development follows renewed funding from the Florida Legislature and approval by Governor Ron DeSantis. The program aims to provide essential dental care services to eligible veterans throughout Florida.

The FVF will oversee a network of selected 501(c)(3) organizations tasked with delivering comprehensive dental services to qualified veterans. The initiative focuses on improving oral health and addressing gaps in dental care for veterans not fully covered by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs.

“We are honored to continue this initiative, which directly impacts the lives of many veterans across Florida. Our goal remains to ensure that every eligible veteran has access to the dental care they need, improving their quality of life and overall health,” says Dr. Pia S. Woodley, DBA, Chair, Florida Veterans Foundation.
