I believe some of the most amazing and generous people on this planet are part of our dental profession. I have witnessed many random acts of kindness and compassion from co-workers while serving dental patients over the past 30 years. I want to challenge you today though to evaluate your sustainable connection to the community you are a part of. Remember....... People. Planet. Profit. Let's focus on the planet piece of the sustainable equation.
So how do you "give back to the community/planet" you are a part of? Many already volunteer with a religious, community or non profit organization. Great! Thank you! How many are volunteering some of their dental time and talents back to the community though? You could contact a local pre-school and present a simple dental health program. I love doing this! Just fill up a back pack with dental goodies such as toothbrushes, healthy food choices and even dental gloves and mask to share with the pre school students. How about a dental jeopardy game with middle school students. Total fun! And if your passion leads you to geriatric care, why not contact an assisted living facility to volunteer with staff and guests. I believe many of these facilities hold hidden treasures in our communities.
Whatever sustainable volunteer choice you make I promise countless blessings returned to you and the practice you are apart of. Get connected to the community you serve. Stay connected. Stay sustainable.
Sending a smile,
Judy
