Through a network of partners and a strategic framework of prevention and intervention, we eliminate the "impossible choices" that act as barriers to success, igniting a vitality to rise above and make health a cornerstone of a child's future.
In partnership with the Nathan M. Carreira Endowment Fund, we fund critical mental health services and innovative programs that foster a sense of belonging. We help children transition from a "survival mindset" to one of hope, allowing them to overcome isolation and build the meaningful connections essential to their future.
Oral, Physical, and Mental Health
Our work is grounded in the heart wrenching realities that low-income children face. We hear from teachers about young students in need of full dentures, smiles hidden by black teeth, children unable to chew because of abscessed infections, and high student absences due to debilitating dental pain.
"I received my first new toothbrush at school from the Stratton Foundation."
When a dream career in the military is denied due to preventable decay, health has become a barrier to potential. Our programs tackle these issues head-on so that health is a source of strength that allows every student to focus, eat, and dream without compromise. From the annual distribution of thousands of dental kits, in-school dental services and the Head-to-Toe program, the urgency of today turns "difficult" choices into a lifetime of healthy ones.
