OSAP Resources for Dental Hygienists Impacted by Recent Flooding

On behalf of the Organization for Safety, Asepsis and Prevention (OSAP) we are deeply saddened by the plight suffered by all those living in the flood-ravaged areas of the United States.  The OSAP Board suggested sharing a number of OSAP resources that may be immediately helpful to American Dental Hygienists Association members impacted by the recent flooding.  These resources are available to download at no cost from the OSAP website at http://www.osap.org.
