Attention Caregivers! There is a NEW Caregiver Dental Hub, the first university-affiliated national resource dedicated to supporting caregivers who provide daily oral care for individuals with disabilities. Visit the hub today: https://caregiverdentalhub.org/

CaregiverDentalHub.org offers instructional videos, caregiver stories, expert demonstrations, and practical resources on topics such as choosing oral health products, preventing tooth decay, making healthier food choices, communicating with dental professionals, safe positioning techniques, and reducing stress during daily brushing and mouth care routines.

Visitors to the site learn directly from dentists, dental hygienists, caregivers, and other professionals through real-world demonstrations and conversations designed to answer common caregiver questions. Another feature of CaregiverDentalHub.org is its directory of disability-friendly dentists experienced in treating patients who may need special accommodations.

The University of Pennsylvania School of Dental Medicine, with support from the Delta Dental Community Care Foundation, launched the Caregiver Dental Hub.

We are deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Chris Kaag, founder of the IM ABLE Foundation and an incredible advocate, leader, and source of inspiration to so many.

We extend our heartfelt condolences to Chris’s family, friends, and the entire IM ABLE Foundation community during this incredibly difficult time. His legacy will continue to live on through the many lives he touched and the community he worked so hard to build.

With heavy hearts, we share that our Founder, Chris Kaag, passed away peacefully in his sleep yesterday morning.

Chris founded IM ABLE in 2007 and spent his life helping others overcome their limitations and become the best versions of themselves. He showed all of us what it means to never quit and never give up.

Our deepest condolences go out to Gretchen, Carter, and the entire Kaag family. Thank you to everyone in the community Chris built for the love and support you have shown.

We remember a friend and a leader whose life changed countless others. We are honored to continue the mission Chris dedicated his life to building.

No Excuses. Just Move.

If you have a favorite memory, story, or photo with Chris, we’d love for you to share it in the comments as we remember and honor his life together.
