Quotes:
“We could stop thinking, wow everyone deserves to have a program like this in their school, we could spread this”
“We really used our support system in the beginning, and to this day those people are still big supporters”
“We are so thankful for our state and national associations, when it comes to these challenges, you don’t know how much you need your associations, and your people until you need them”
“If it wasn’t for ADHA and MDHA I don’t know if we would be doing this”
“We started with bare bones, but enough to do really quality work”
“We didn’t get the first one, or the second one, but we started receiving them after that, we learned grant language”
“Not all hygienists are made for private practice”
“It’s fun for us to create a job for someone that they really love”
