º£½ÇÂ×ÂÒ Dental Hygiene student members of the San Antonio Dental Hygiene Association provided oral hygiene instruction and handed out goodies to super heroes, witches, unicorns, and so many other fantastical characters at the Any Baby Can Halloween party on October 22, 2019. Any Baby Can cites its mission is to serve families with children and youth facing serious health or developmental challenges. The San Antonio based organization, founded in 1982, offers support and education to caregivers and families navigating the complex system of health care and human services. Ashley Uncapher, senior dental hygiene student, remarked that “The outreach was a good learning opportunity for students to experience a different population of patients with different needs. We look forward to working with this organization again!â€
