...our goal to create an ADHP," said ADHA President Katie Dawson, RDH, BS. "I especially want to thank all of the dental hygienists at the state and local level who contacted their federal officeholders and urged them to include language that advanced the ADHP."
The House of Representatives approved its version of the fiscal year 2006 HHS funding bill in June. The House report language does not mention the ADHP. Accordingly, ADHA will work to ensure that the Senate report language is maintained when House and Senate negotiators meet in conference committee to reconcile the differences between the House and Senate bill. Conference committee negotiations are not yet scheduled.
Watch for further updates from ADHA on crucial next steps for this initiative and how grassroots dental hygienists can continue to be an important partner in our efforts. Many thanks to all of you who have spent time e-mailing, calling and writing to your federal officeholders, it is much appreciated.
Kind regards,
