This was shared in an article for PAGD's upcoming Keystone Explorer quarterly magazine, and we feel that it communicates the thoughts of many providers in this difficult time. Thanks to all of you that continue to do what you do... "We view the opened dental office as primary and essential for public health. We feel it is absolutely safe, and always has been safe, to treat patients in our dental offices with the added precautions. We encourage all our colleagues in dental off...ices to pave the way forward in their communities with good procedure and protocol leading in safety and infection control measures. Our profession as generalists in dentistry forms relationships with patients, is gifted in communicating empathy and understands effective listening. We want to use these acquired skills we have developed in dentistry to help our communities recover and move forward and touch the lives of our patients with hope inspiration, and good oral health."

Many of AGD's experienced dentists may remember Hal Donnell. He was AGD's original Executive Director, and served in that capacity for 30 years. He passed away at the age of 85 in late July. Rest well, Hal, may we all live so well.
