June President's Message -
Dr. Tina Olsson



Welcome summer! We’re taking a break from the general meeting for a few months to give us all a little time to enjoy our friends and family during the warm days. We ended our academic year with a significant milestone- our first Spring Meeting since Covid. It was a fantastic return! The momentum we’re building within the Pierce County Dental Society is something to celebrate.

The event allowed us to reconnect in person with our own members and with participants from neighboring counties who were welcomed to the Spring Meeting for the first time. This is a unique meeting because we brought along our teams to join in the experience. Some of these team members have been communicating about patient care via telephone and email for years. Putting names to faces is great.

Thank you to Debra Englehardt-Nash, who delivered an engaging presentation aimed at helping the entire team improve the quality of patient interactions in the front and the back of the practice. She also gave insightful information aimed at improved relationships within our teams, ideas for coaching, ideas for sticky patient conversations and she made us laugh – a lot. The feedback was positive, and we’re grateful for the practical takeaways and professional inspiration she shared

These in-person gatherings remind us how important community and connection are in our profession. The board will be looking for ways to continue to support and learn and to strengthen our professional community at the county, state and national levels. We hope for some innovative ways to meet our members’ needs and will be reaching out for suggestions.

Wishing you all a safe, relaxing and sunny start to the summer season.

Warmly,
Tina Olsson
President, Pierce County Dental Society
