Health Promotion and Community EngagementAs heath care professionals one of our responsibilities is to educate the community. This semester I was able to volunteer in many different community service settings. However, my most proud accomplishment was being part of the ADAMS Compassionate Healthcare Network. It is a non-profit organization that provides healthcare to uninsured, low income individuals in the Northern Virginia Area, As a dental volunteer in our section, I provided EOE/IOE, and OHI. I interacted and educated many individuals who needed dental care and was able to be a part of an organization whose service to the community was recognized by Gov.McAuliffe. This allowed us to become known by the community , thus informing them that there are resources that can help maintain their health.
