SACDS has long been partnering with and we love to see stories like this one in the New York Times; especially when it was our own member, Dr. Christopher Chiu who inspired Melissa Gurule's wonderful journey into Dental Assisting. Thank you , we at Southern Alameda County Dental Society look forward to many more years of a productive partnership. Together we're making a difference in local workforce development, and the profession of dentistry.
