Volunteering for the Dental Residency ProgramFebruary 29th, 2012
The Community Health Center of Burlington, a Federally Qualified Health Center, provides an incredibly valuable service to the residents in our area. The Center is able to offer a wide range of medical and dental care to anyone in need. These services are made possible by an extraordinary staff, residents and volunteers. In particular, the dental residents have shown a dedication to excellence by expanding their education and undertaking an additional year of training. They are serving Chittenden County by seeing patients in the Dental Center and Fletcher Allen Hospital. Their commitment greatly increases access to care in our area. Dr. Matthew Kolesar, a member of Associates in Periodontics, has volunteered time for the last 3 years to the Dental Residency Program. His goal has been to expand the education and services at the Dental Center and to improve the oral health in our community by providing guidance to the residents in periodontal treatment planning.

Staff Spotlight: Cyndee Lou, RDH at AIPFebruary 13th, 2012
Her colleagues are what she describes as an “interesting and varied bunch coming from all walks of life.” She added the “clinicians are open to new ideas and new products, constantly trying new equipment and lasers, as we want the most effective, efficient, economical treatment for our patients.” She describes her patients as “extremely caring and loyal.” When she had her children, her patients became her extended family, sharing stories of child rearing and encouraging her through the process. When she’s not at work, she devotes much of her time to the Continuing Education Committee for the VT State Dental Society. She also enjoys watercolor painting and playing soccer. “Where did the time go?” From Brian D. Shuman, DMDFebruary 10th, 2012In the blink of an eye our building and offices at 247 Pearl were gone; destroyed in the fire. Four and a half months later, we are back to work, in a brand new space, seeing a full schedule of patients. It feels as if nothing had ever happened. Where did the time go? Where did the time go? Where did the time go? How can it possibly get any better? |
