Hello BDDS Members,
Give Kids a Smile 2013, needs your help! We need volunteers to see the children that are being screened by the United Way of Central Alabama for Give Kids a Smile 2013. I have had a very low response from our membership and we desperately need more volunteers.
Who are the GKAS patients and why do they need our help you might ask? Children who are eligible to receive dental treatment through GKAS are, for a variety of reasons, children who do not currently have access to dental care through another program. These children are at the mercy of the adults who care for them. Perhaps the adults who care for these children have some sort of obstacle that prevents them from applying for Medicaid or for All-Kids for these children, but for whatever reason, these children are not receiving any dental care through no fault of their own. Untreated dental disease, as you all know, impacts a child's ability to attend school, to focus in school, to eat, to play and learn and to live a healthy life. Please register to be a volunteer for GKAS this year to see patients in your private dental office. We need your help with this important local mission.
I have attached a registration form to this email. Click here to open the form. Please fill out the registration form and fax or email or mail this form to my office if you would like to volunteer. United Way will contact your office as patients go through screening and are ready to be appointed in your office.
Thank you for your consideration in this matter,
Sincerely,
Angel Rohner, DMD
