On Saturday April 6th, 2019, The Prince Edward Island Dental Hygienists’ Association will be once again be participating in Gift from the Heart. 

The Gift from the Heart is a day set aside for registered dental hygienists from all across Canada to open their heart and share their skills and knowledge with those who need it the most. This national one-day event allows registered dental hygienists to give back to the community by providing no cost dental hygiene care to those who experience financial barriers to accessing preventive oral care. 

Holland College has granted us use of their dental clinic facility to host this event. 

To enable this event to be a success dental hygiene volunteers are needed. Last year, thanks to dental hygienists volunteering Gift From the Heart provided care to approximately 70 individuals. Volunteer shifts are broken down into 2 hour time slots. 

We are using an online volunteer registration website which can be accessed by clicking on the following link https://volunteersignup.org/7YXTA

Thank you for agreeing to participate in this worthwhile community project, and for your continued support of our local dental hygiene Association.

If you have any questions, please contact us at: giftfromtheheartdh@gmail.com 

CE Points - 2 per shift - up to 3
