HAPPY NATIONAL DENTAL HYGIENE WEEK MY FRIENDS!!
Today we were to launch this week with Gift from the Heart but instead we are launching safe and sound at home!
Doing just that is the best way we can treat our patients right now - stopping the spread of this aggressive and contagious flu virus is our focus. If you want to do more I remind you of this initiative.
There has been an urgent request for Volunteers to Assist with COVID-19 from Dr. Theresa Tam, Chief Public Health Officer
CDHA received a letter from the Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC) asking us to reach out to our members with this call for assistance. There is an urgent need for people to help augment capacity at provincial and territorial levels for surveillance and monitoring of COVID-19 cases. More specifically, they need assistance in detailed case reporting/analysis and contact tracing to help to quickly identify cases and break chains of transmission by isolating and monitoring close contacts.
Anyone interested in contributing to the COVID-19 response should complete the following online application form at https://www.canada.ca/en/public-health/services/diseases/coronavirus-disease-covid-19.html
If you have questions, please contact hc.covidvolunteer-benevolecovid.sa@canada.ca
IN THE MEANTIME, WE WILL POST A NDHW PROJECTS DAILY

We are all at home and have our phones or tablets or laptops close by. And our loved ones too (pets included). Lets flood our FACEBOOK page with pics of us showing our purple pride.

Hi PEI Hygienists!
We as a committee are so grateful to everyone of you for signing up to volunteer for this wonderful event. Unfortunately with all that is going on with the COVID-19 virus and the shutting down of Holland College we feel that it is unwise and unsafe to run this event this year. We look forward to hopefully being able to run another successful event in 2021 and hope to see each of you at that time.
Thanks
Gift from the Heart Committee and PEIDHA

*NOTE: This event is for all practicing dental hygienists in PEI - FREE for both members and non-members.
