April Legislative Event
The SCDA and the SCDA DenPac have planned a legislative breakfast for Thursday, April 15, 2010.  This is a very important event and all SCDA members are invited.  If you are not a contact dentist, we would still like to have you present.  The event will be 8:00 - 10:00 am in Room 112 of the Blatt Building at the Statehouse Complex.  RSVP to me at lathamp@scda.org or by calling 803-750-2277.
Oral, Head and Neck Cancer Awareness Week
Oral, Head and Neck Cancer Awareness Week is April 12-18, 2010.  To obtain more information on offering free screenings, click on the power point presentation to help guide you: http://www.ohancaw.com/images/informationalpresentation.ppt.
You can also contact info@ohancaw.com to find out more information.  Some frequently asked questions can provide you additional information:

What materials do I need to do a free screening? Let this PowerPoint presentation guide you: http://www.ohancaw.com/images/informationalpresentation.ppt
 
What if someone screened needs follow up?
Recommend www.entnet.org which searches for Board-certified ENTs by zip code. Encourage follow-up with a primary care provider. Bring a list of area resources to the screening. Remember, the screening is educational in purpose and therefore free of liability.

What kinds of events take place during OHANCAW? Community education, tennis tournaments, walkathons, rock concerts, research days, educational booths, & survivor banquets are all OHANCAW events.

Contact info@ohancaw.com to find out more.
