Manchester Legislative Night |
|
On March 5th the Manchester Dental Component enjoyed a very successful Legislators
Night that was run by Jim Williamson, Executive Director of NHDS, and Dr.Ted Neff, President of the Manchester Component. Awards were presented to Manchester area dentists for their voluntary contributions to the community.
Dr. Daphnie Mercado was awarded for her service to Child and Family Services for over seven years. Child and Family services is dedicated to advancing the well-being of children by providing an array of social services to strengthen family life, and the organization annually donates dental hygiene items to the teen outreach center that provides basic supplies for the homeless and at-risk youth in the city.
Dr. Sarah Katz was recognized for her donated dental services to low income children during visits to them at schools and treating them in a mobile dental facility. Sarah has spent considerable time and skills to enhance the lives of children who would not otherwise receive necessary care.
Drs. Don Dumais, Joe Sheehan, Mark Hochberg, and Jo-Anne Johnson have offered leadership and direction for the Dentists with a Heart Program. Not only did they run the program, but they opened their offices, provided resources, and directed the treatment plans of low-income families. The considerable time and resources involved in directing the program has impacted their own private practices and has demanded what little free time they had. Each was recognized individually at the March 5th meeting.
