Together we can make a difference

Founded in 2017 by two minority #HBCU made sisters. Dr. Janelle Davison (optometrist) and Dr. Joya Lyons (dentist) are award-winning and nationally recognized African American healthcare providers. They created S.C.O.R.E. INC., to "pay it forward" and help other high school minority girls pursue a career in medicine, dentistry, optometry, or ophthalmology. Currently, less than 6% of doctors in the United States are African American or Hispanic American.

S.C.O.R.E. Inc., stands for successful, confident, optimistic, regal and engaging. Our mission is to expose, empower and encourage minority high school juniors and seniors to pursue a degree in dentistry, optometry and ophthalmology. We provide the tools, skills, and guidance necessary to help them along their journey. We strive to increase minority representation of African American and Hispanic American women in medicine, dentistry, optometry, and ophthalmology by accepting 300 minority high school girls into our program by the year 2040.
