Thank you to those who have contacted members of the House Health Policy Committee to voice your support for SB 541 and dental therapists in Michigan.
As we discussed in our last
update, SB 541 is scheduled for a hearing tomorrow, October 3, before the House Health Policy Committee. The meeting is scheduled for 9 a.m. and we anticipate it will be webcast via House TV. If it is webcast you will see it on the House TV schedule posted
here.
Tomorrow's meeting will be to hear testimony only so it is not too late to reach out to the members. We continue to need as many voices as possible to s
hare your experiences with access to care challenges and why
adding dental therapists to our clinics and practices in Michigan will help.
We've linked committee members' e-mail addresses below, but you can find additional contact information on the House Health Policy Committee home page

Our key talking points are available here, and there are a wealth of resources on our
midentalaccess.org
website, including a variety of easy to use infographics, that provide accurate information.
