Supporting Organization: A small 501(c)3 non-profit organization provides backbone support for the Network. The official legal name of the 501(c)3 is the Harry E. Davis Partnership for Children's Oral Health in honor of Dr. Harry Davis, who was a beloved Maine pediatrician and the chief of pediatrics at Mercy Hospital from 1943-1963. Dr. Davis was the inspiration behind the creation of the Sadie & Harry Davis Foundation, core funder of COHN from the beginning.
