Local Hygienists/Dentist Awarded at Annual Session


The Dental Hygienists' Association of the State of New York (DHASNY) met at Turning Stone in Verona, NY for their annual session on Oct 23 - 25. At the President's reception on Saturday evening several awards were announced honoring several MCC graduates. Saralyn Fanara and Robin Murphy each were honored for Outstanding Activities as a Mentor (only 2 awards were given throughout the state); Carol Pittanaro was named for Professional Excellence in Dental Hygiene through Volunteerism at the state level. Paula Fischer was re-elected as DHASNY VP of Governmental Affairs and Michele Rase was elected DHASNY Treasurer.

The 7th District Dental Hygienists' Association (Rochester/Finger Lakes) won for Outstanding Contributions in the Community (Healthy Smiles Walk) (picture attached).

Dr. David Lawrence, program director for Dental Studies, was awarded for Outstanding Contribution for the Advancement of Dental Hygiene. His contributions to the profession include helping establish Dental Hygiene programs in underserved areas and  assisting St. Joe's community center to obtain extra dental units.

We are very proud of our director and our graduates for their accomplishments. (attached photo shows hygienists from the 7th district who attended the dinner)
