FDHA President Robin Poole

Welcome to 2021! As we begin this year, it is a great time to reflect back on our lives and to look forward to 2021.   Wow! What a year, I am sure you are just as happy as I am to see 2020 finally end.  We have lost loved ones, our careers may have changed, we are in the grips of a worldwide pandemic and we living in a country of upended fight for racial equality, to name just a few events.  I ask you: Are you looking at the glass of lemonade as half full or are you making some lemonade; as the old saying goes if someone gives you lemons you make lemonade.

That being said- We need to reflect on all the positive aspects our last year.

• Creativity and new hobbies

• Bonus time with our families

• Learning to cook

• Gardening

• I gained a new family within FDHA

• Virtual meetings

The Florida Dental Hygienists Association has supported our members and others through posting resources for Covid 19, infection control protocol and currently now looking for vaccine locations.  Please stay tuned to the FDHA website for updates!

I hope to continue to support you in the coming year with your career, by providing professional resources, advocacy issues to improve the dental hygiene profession, and to continue to look through a new scope of lenses at diversity and inclusion. Let’s march forward this spring and continue to persevere- we can do anything together!
