Summary
By Jennifer Garvin— ADA President Jeffrey M. Cole traveled to the U.S. Virgin Islands June 20 to meet with the Virgin Islands Dental Association and other stakeholders to discuss the territory’s five-year oral health plan. The American Dental Association (ADA) and Virgin Islands Dental Association (VIDA) are working together to address the territory’s oral health care needs and how to remove barriers to care. “We are proud to work closely with elected officials and a committed group of dentists to improve oral health for U.S Virgin Islanders,” said Dr. Cole in a news release. “I appreciate President Cole and all of the Virgin Islands dentists and elected officials who attended the summit to help us redouble our efforts to improve dental health in the territory.” One part of improving care includes embracing the ADA’s Community Dental Health Coordinators model. Several hygienists and assistants from USVI health centers and private practices are expected to participate in a 2019-20 distance learning CDHC program this year through Rio Salado Community College in Tempe, Arizona.
