“Sonya’s commitment and dedication to her community is truly inspiring, and we’re thrilled to recognize her as Weave’s first Healthcare Hero,” said Chris Baird, Chief Marketing Officer at Weave. “It’s remarkable how one healthcare provider can profoundly impact their community by identifying a gap in care and inspire industry-wide innovation in caring for local, underserved populations.”
“I am truly honored and humbled to be named Weave’s first Healthcare Hero,” said Sonya Dunbar, MPH, RDH, co-owner of Mobile Dental Xpress. “As the Geriatric Toothfairy, I have the privilege of restoring dignity and confidence to marginalized communities whose oral health has been ignored for extended lengths of time. Many individuals I serve haven’t had their teeth brushed or cared for in months. My purpose is to be the voice for those whose voices have become a whisper, and I am immensely grateful to be able to make a lasting impact in these individuals’ lives -- one smile at a time.”
