County offers discount dental program

Good news here for the residents of DuPage County, Ill.: They will soon be saving money on their dental expenses thanks to their membership in NACo.

As reported in the Lisie (Aurora, Ill.) Sun: "James Healy, County Board member from District 5 of Naperville, said the DuPage Dental Discount Program is a result of DuPage County’s affiliation with the National Association of Counties, which selected Careington as the vendor for the dental program following a lengthy evaluation process."

Healy is an active member of NACo. He is Vice Chair of the Transportation Steering Committee, and is a member of the Membership Committee, Programs and Services Committee and the Large Urban County Caucus.

NACo recently launched the Dental Discount Program to help residents in member counties. Thirty-eight counties have agreed to be a part of a pilot to test the program. The program will provide residents in those counties with cards that will save from 5% to 50% on a full complement of dental services. The cards will cost $59 a year for individuals and $69 a year for families.
