Elevates Your Voice
We
advocate for you
through government engagement, in the media, and on social platforms to
advance the profession and improve the oral health of people across
Canada. The expansion of the
Canada Student Loan Forgiveness program
to include dental hygienists working in underserved rural and remote
communities was exciting news. This milestone was the direct result of
years of advocacy by CDHA.
