Dental Hygienists Joining Together
The purpose of this website is to have an interactive website for ADHA members and NCHDA members. It will give members a way to become more up-to-date with all the latest news, along with becoming more involved. We encourage every dental hygienist to become an active member. If you aren't an ADHA member yet, now is the time to join!
Once you are an ADHA member, make sure you join this site too. It's easy, just click JOIN at the top of the page.
CALLING ALL COASTAL CAROLINA
COMMUNITY COLLEGE ALUMNI
“If there’s time to lean, there’s time to clean,” said Barbara Branche to the Class of 1979. I remember her well – and so do you! The CCCC dental hygiene alumni are going to honor Barbara Branche for her years of service and dedication in raising all of us RDH’s into who we are now. There will be a reception for Barbara on Saturday, September 13 following the continuing education sessions at the Fall Scientific Meeting. It will be a great time to reconnect with your classmates and plan a class reunion after the reception. Barbara will be retiring in May 2009 and we want as many alumni as possible to be there for a cocktail hour to honor her and send her off into retirement in style. There will be a $20 fee to cover the cost of the room and hors d’oeuvres. Check should be payable to “RDH Reunion” and forwarded to Lynn Young (address below).
Save the date to attend the NCDHA Fall Scientific Meeting at the North Raleigh Hilton, Raleigh, NC on September 13, 2008.

VITAL SURVEY
Did you know that there are plans to open yet ANOTHER
dental hygiene program in North Carolina? (Pitt Community College)
In an effort to provide hard data to the Community College System
and to the NC General Assembly, the North Carolina Dental Hygiene
Educator’s Association is trying to survey dental hygiene graduates
to find out how many still need jobs. So if you receive a telephone
message or an email from your alma mater, please answer the five
question survey as soon as possible.
If you are not on your alma mater’s mailing list, or if you
graduated from a school outside of NC, you can help NCDHA
and NCDHEA by emailing your answers to the following questions
to dclefevers@earthlink.net . I will forward the results to NCDHEA
for the final tally. No names will be used-just statistics.
- Are you currently employed as a dental hygienist? Specify full or part time.
- If part time, are you looking for full time employment?
- How long after you were licensed in NC did it take you to find employment as a dental hygienist? Specify full or part time.
- Where did you go to hygiene school, and in which year did you graduate?
- If you are a NC graduate, how many former classmates do you know of that are currently unemployed due to inability to find a hygiene position?
