Congratulations to GSLDS Member, Dr. Jeff Dalin Dalin Dental Associates for being honored by the Chicago Dental Society at their February virtual Midwinter Meeting. Dr. Dalin received the George H. Cushing Award, which honors individuals who raise public awareness about oral health issues. In 2002, he brought the idea of a national access-to-care program for underserved children to the American Dental Association. The program, which was adopted by the ADA, has provided free ...oral health services to more than 6 million children over its 19-year history. Dr. Dalin currently serves as a member of the ADA GKAS National Advisory Committee and leads the ADA GKAS Community Leadership Development Institute.
