About Sun Life Health Access Heroes
In 2015, DentaQuest launched the Health Equity Hero Awards in an effort to shed light on health disparities common across many communities. While health inequity remains a serious issue in our country, DentaQuest, part of Sun Life U.S., is laser-focusing its efforts on supporting access to care, an essential ingredient to ensure health equity. To better reflect this focus, and how both DentaQuest and Sun Life aim to improve health equity, we have renamed the Health Equity Hero Awards to the Health Access Hero Awards.Since 2015, we’ve honored 92 heroes and donated $340,000 to nearly 100 nonprofit organizations. Heroes can be individuals working on any health access issue, from oral health to diabetes management, social determinants of health, mental health and general medical care. Selected Heroes will receive a $10,000 donation to the charity of their choice. You can check out our 2024 Health Access Heroes here.
