UIC receives donation from our "Case Today" program

Dr. Tom Sullivan (left) presented Dr. Clark Stanford, Dean of UIC College of Dentistry with a $5,000 check from the ISDS Foundation's Case Today program.

UIC will use this money to improve communications by adding a monitor system to assist in their Bach Clinic. The system will directly connect to the electronic record system and allow students an expedited way to communicate with faculty to increase student learning and increase the efficiency of the patient experience.

We now have "ankle socks" for sale!

We had great success with our sock sales and heard your input... we now have Ankle Socks! Every pair of socks purchased will help our mission is to improve the oral health of children, families, and individuals throughout the state by supporting initiatives that expand access to care and increase dental health education and awareness.
