Children's Oral Health Initiative

The program assists families with children from 0 – 7 years of age to receive oral screening, fluoride varnish, and oral health education. We also provide screening and education to women during pregnancy.

 

About the Program

The Children’s Oral Health Initiative (COHI) is a free program offered by First Nations Health Authority in the communities of Nadleh Whut’en and Stellat’en First Nations. Our team includes a COHI aide and a dental hygienist.
