One of the amazing things that we were able to do while we were at the N/a’an kuse reservation was help with the enrichment of the animals that were not able to be released back into the wild.

Many of the patients that we saw had never been to the dentist … Continue reading Transformative Journey: A Dental Hygiene Adventure in Jamaica
This program has been the highlight of my 2-year Dental Hygiene program. Before this experience, I never thought about the access to care that other countries, like Jamaica, lack.
