THE BOYS AND GIRL CLUB DENTAL CLINIC
From the time the first steps were taken to create the dental clinic at the Boys and Girls Club, members of MPYDHA have been involved. Area dental hygienists have provided input into the design and function of the clinic. It has taken several years for this clinic to come to fruition and it has finally happened. Not only has MPY donated money to make this clinic happen but members have also volunteered their time for screening and treatment days. MPY challenges all of you to take at least one day out of your busy life to volunteer at this clinic. If you are available on a specific date to volunteer, please contact Jodi Loper, CDA, EFDA, Health Services Coordinator at 503-581-7383 or Email: jloper@bgc-salem.org
VOLUNTEERING
Along with the Boys and Girls club there are several volunteering opportunities for you. Give Kids a Smile Day and The Annual Amity Elementary School Dental Clinic. The Amity Dental Clinic was held this year on February 23rd. Every year more and more children are treated at this event. Last year there was almost $5000 worth of care done. This year more than $6000. One of our own members Michelle Aldrich created and keeps this annual event going. MPY actually won a National ADHA Community Outreach Award for this clinic. This year we took education to the classrooms while treatment (sealants, prophy’s, fluoride treatment etc…) was provided on the dental van.
I've had nothing but positive feedback from anyone who has ever participated in this event. Look for this and other opportunities coming up in the next year. The children need you and your skills!! For more information on dates and times please contact Sharon Crawford, flosschick_rdh@yahoo.com MPY’s Volunteer Coordinator.
THANK YOU!!
MENTORSHIP
The MPY mentoring program has been established to help newer graduates through the transition from student to professional. I think we can all remember how scary it was to begin a new career, so full of questions and unsure on how to reach out and ask for help. Come to the Annual MPY Dental Hygiene Welcome Dessert to meet other hygienist in the area and meet the new graduates. If you would like to be involved in this program please contact Teri at: teriabel@comcast.net
HOSPITALITY
Anna Secreist would like to thank everybody who has signed up for refreshment duty. You have made all the hungry and thirsty mouths that attend the meetings very happy. Don’t worry if you forgot what month you signed up for, she will be giving you a reminder call.
