Safety & Standards Under Fire: ADHA and Nevada RDHs Rise to Legislative Defense (Ep 162)


Listen Later

When Nevada's Senate Bill 495 threatened to eliminate educational requirements for dental hygienists, ADHA and local Nevada hygienists sprang into action. In this must-listen episode, ADHA President Elect Lancette VanGuilder of Nevada together with Dr. JoAnn Gurenlian, Nevada's Karen Solie and host Matt Crespin - all ADHA past presidents - reveal the inside story of the legislative strategy and success in Nevada. Hear how tight coordination between national and state efforts paired with relentless "boots on the ground" advocacy and mobilization of the dental hygiene community contributed to the defeat of dangerous legislation that could have compromised public safety. This is a blueprint with the practical insights you need in order to stay on top of legislative threats coming to your state - the strategy, the critical importance of early ADHA partnership and proven tactics that work. With other states already in the crosshairs, this pod episode is essential listening for dental hygienists nationwide, to unite and protect professional standards and public safety.

Guests: ADHA President Elect Lancette VanGuilder, BS, RDH, PHEDH, CEAS, FADHA; Caryn Solie, RDH, FADHA and JoAnn Gurenlian, RDH, MS, PhD, AAFAAOM, FADHA Host: Matt Crespin, MPH, RDH, FADHA
