Commends Donated Dental Services, a program of Dental Lifeline Network introduced in Mississippi in 1995, for providing dental care to vulnerable populations including elderly, special-needs, and medically at-risk adults.

Acknowledges that recipients were restored to oral health status enabling them to maintain or improve their overall health outcomes.
