Every year a national initiative called the Gift from the Heart run by dental hygienists works to raise awareness and make care more accessible and on Saturday April 6th 2019, to kick off the CDHA campaign, National Dental Hygienists week, hygienists across the city have teamed up with the beautiful state-of-the-art dental clinic at the downtown mission to raise awareness and make dental hygiene care free and accessible.
There are those among us who work hard to promote awareness and systemic change and we will not stop but when whole communities come together to talk about and support social justice and the most vulnerable among us, we all benefit. United, we can create healthier more inclusive communities we can all be proud of.
Change is not always easy but it starts by recognizing the problem and a willingness to work to make things better.
What an amazing initiative! Making dental care accessible is truly a gift from the heart. This effort is as meaningful as an anniversary gift—a lasting impact on community health. Huge appreciation for these dedicated hygienists!
