We are proud to announce the arrival and launch of our first state-of-the-art mobile dental clinic. On May 6, 2010, a private ribbon cutting ceremony will be held on Capitol Hill followed by an awards ceremony honoring those whose support and leadership brought the dream to fruition. Included among the honorees are Maryland legislators Governor Martin O'Malley, Senator Ben Cardin, Congressman Elijah Cummings, and State Senator Ulysses Currie. Others to be honored are Stanley M. Bergman, the Chairman and CEO of Henry Schein, Inc., and Jim Kitch, the Vice President of ADI Mobile Health, as well as other community partners, advocates and dentists who have cooperated to build a sustainable program. The events will take place in conjunction with the annual National Dental Association Day on the Hill.

Dr. Walter Owens, President of the National Dental Association, stated, "It is with great joy, pride, and appreciation that the National Dental Association (NDA) and Robert T. Freeman Dental Society, thank Governor Martin O'Malley, Maryland legislators, the Citizens of Maryland and all our loyal partners, as we celebrate the ribbon the cutting ceremony and dedication of the Deamonte Driver Project Mobile Dental Clinic. This project honors the memory of Deamonte Driver and symbolizes the commitment of the National Dental Association to do all within our power to provide needed dental services to underserved populations and to raise public awareness to the need for quality, comprehensive dental care for all the citizens of our great country."
