The Santa Fe Group's 2025 Annual Report reflects on the incredible progress made by the Santa Fe Group (SFG) board members, Strategic Advisory Council, Senior Scholars & Fellows, and partners. Throughout 2025, this extraordinary team worked tirelessly to strengthen partnerships, advance policy, and lay the groundwork for new initiatives that will shape the future of oral health.

The 2025 Report reflects the collective efforts that made this progress possible, from expanding access to medically necessary oral health services under Medicare and advancing the Coalition for Oral Health Policy (COHP), to laying the foundation for the SFG national initiative, "Oral Health: A Pathway to Wellness and Longevity."

"Advancing oral health: Collaboration towards UN sustainable development goals" highlights the important role oral health care providers can play in advancing the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) through advocacy, community engagement, sustainable practices, and stronger integration of oral health into broader health initiatives.

Oral health is closely connected to all 17 SDGs through its proven impact on quality education, poverty reduction, and overall health and wellbeing, among other areas of sustainable development. The authors conclude that prioritizing oral health within the global health agenda can help reduce health inequalities, promote social justice, and contribute to a more equitable and sustainable future.

Although the connection between oral and overall health is widely recognized across health care spaces, it continues to be excluded from health care education and practice, limiting opportunities to improve outcomes, increase preventive care, and lower total healthcare costs.

The American Dental Association and the Center for Integrative Global Oral Health (CIGOH) at Penn Dental Medicine recently launched the living evidence-informed guidelines program that aims to keep oral health recommendations continuously updated as new research emerges rather than relying on traditional guideline revisions every three to five years. This continuous, digital-first approach has the potential to accelerate the translation of research into practice, improve clinical decision-making, and enhance the integration of evidence-based oral health care through tools such as clinical decision support, infographics, and electronic health record integration.

June is Pride Month! We call on our oral health partners and champions to reflect on what health providers can do to create safe, supportive and inclusive care settings for patients of all genders and sexualities. The OHNEP team is dedicated to promoting oral health and overall health equity nationwide for all individuals, and we stand with the LGBTQIA+ community in advocating for accessible and inclusive health care environments.

Earlier this year, CareQuest Institute and the American Institute on Disparities in Public Health (AIDPH) published the report, "Mapping the Health Divide LGBTQIA+ Oral Health and the Role of Policy Inclusion."
