One testament to her <br />success is a North Carolina Public Health Staff Recognition Award from Glaxo Smith <br />Kline. The research-based pharmaceutical and health care company honored Boucher <br />recently for the dental program she developed at the Cabarrus Health Alliance. <br /> <br />The Dental clinic served close to 3000 residents through the third quarter of fiscal year <br />2000-2001. Additionally, almost 500 early childhood teachers have been educated in <br />nutrition and dental health. Over all thousands of Cabarrus County school-age children <br />will benefit from the new comprehensive program. To aid Boucher in her efforts, 23 <br />local dentists are volunteering their services. <br /> <br />Another testament to Sandra's success is the fact the clinic is already running out of <br />space, and the staff is planning to expand. "During my first year at The Cabarrus <br />Health Alliance, we did not get one single request from the community to provide any <br />programs for Children's Dental Health Month in February. Last year, we were <br />bombarded with requests", she says <br /> <br />The program includes a dental clinic, preventive education, and screening program. In <br />addition, an emergency fund will proVide care that is more extensive for children who <br />require the services of a specialist or even a hospital. <br /> <br /> Send comments on this site to Webmaster <br />Copyright~1999, 2000, 2001 Cabarrus County.
