‘In Motion: 5K Run-Walk-Fun’ event returns to ADHA gathering
The American Dental Hygienists’ Association is bringing back the “In Motion:
5K Run-Walk-Fun” on Thursday, June 15,
as part of its 94th Annual Conference in
Jacksonville, Fla. ADHA also is launching a
virtual fun run so people from across the
U.S. can help raise funds for the Institute
for Oral Health (IOH), ADHA’s foundation
that serves to support, empower and advance dental hygiene professionals.
Thanks to support from platinum sponsors Colgate and Sunstar; gold sponsors
Dentsply Sirona, Crest+Oral B and Henry
Schein Dental; and bronze sponsor HuFriedy, the event will help fund scholar-

ships for dental hygiene students, provide
research grants for those expanding the
ield of dental hygiene, and support dental hygienists who donate their services
to improve access to oral health care and
education in their communities.
“The level of participation, enthusiasm
and camaraderie we had last year at the
inaugural Run-Walk-Fun and After Glow
Party was through the roof,” said IOH
Chair Jill Rethman, RDH. “In fact, not only
did we raise more than $50,000 for scholarships, research grants and community
service but we had dental hygienists from
across the country ask how they could be

involved and support this event.”
This year, dental hygienists who are unable to attend the ADHA Annual Conference can pick any time from June 14–19 to
run or walk a 5K in their community, join
an existing team or create their own. For
a $15 registration fee, virtual participants
will receive a T-shirt and a race medal.
For all information, on both on-site and
virtual registration, you can visit www.
crowdrise.com/ADHARUNWALK2017. You
can follow the ADHA on Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter at @YourADHA and use
the hashtag #IOH5K.
Founded in 1957, the IOH is the associa-

tion’s philanthropic foundation advancing professional excellence in dental hygiene education, community service and
research. Working for the dental hygiene
community, the IOH provides opportunities for academic achievement through
scholarships and fellowships, resources
to advance the professional ield through
research grants, and support for dental
hygienists to improve the public’s health
through community service grants. For

Teledentistry and seniors’ oral health are among topics at ADHA conference
Among the featured speakers at this
year’s American Dental Hygienists’ Association’s 94th Annual Conference is
Michelle Noblet-Vacha, RDH, who will
present “Teledentistry and Addressing the
State of Decay in Older Adults.”
Noblet-Vacha is the founder and executive director of Senior Mobile Dental, a
nonproit organization serving the oral

health care needs of individuals, with a
focus on the elderly. Earlier in her career,
Noblet-Vacha saw how many seniors living in assisted care facilities were struggling with performing their daily oral
care, which was impacting their overall
health. Senior Mobile Dental, which provides oral care regardless of income or insurance, solves this problem by going di-

rectly to the patients in their care setting.
Noblet-Vacha has been recognized for
her work by the American Dental Association (ADA), American Red Cross Community Service, Sunstar Americas, Colgate
and Crest.
ADHA honored her with the Hu-Friedy/
ADHA Master Clinician Award at its 2010
annual conference as well as the ADHA

Award for Excellence in Dental Hygiene.
The meeting will be at the Prime Osborn Convention Center in Jacksonville,
Fla., from June 14 to 17. For details, visit

and

Twitter at @YourADHA.
