Reply to Sherri Lukes:

There is a reference related to your inquiry in the 1993 Recommendations

of the National Advisory Council on Migrant Health (p.17).

Very best,

Sherri: Did you ever get a response to your inquiry? You can refer to the

PIN98-23 which lists required services for all 330 grantees (including dental).

This is a link to the PIN:

ftp://ftp.hrsa.gov/bphc/docs/1998PINS/PIN98-23.PDF. You could also probably find

a PIN in the list at http://bphc.hrsa.gov/pinspals/pinsarchive.htm that

references the MHC goals.

Good luck!
