Greetings from CDHA President Brenda Florio Ruggiero, RDH, BS

Welcome to the Connecticut Dental Hygienists' Association website.  It is an honor and privilege to represent Dental Hygienists in the state of Connecticut.  My focus during this year is for every Registered Dental Hygienist to choose to possess the keys of OWNERSHIP to CDHA.  CDHA is full of unlimited opportunities and challenges that will stimulate growth for us all.  It begins with making a choice to become a member.  This involves uniting and belonging, where we encourage and engage one another enthusiastically.  We each possess individual gifts that complement and enrich our organization.  By accepting the keys of OWNERSHIP we advance the profession of Dental Hygiene.  We are at a pivotal time in history where health care concerns resonate on the tips of tongues everywhere.  Our responsibility is to positively impact the dental needs of our community.
CDHA's strengths lie within our
volunteer member base.  I encourage and challenge every dental hygienist in the State of Connecticut to claim your keys of ownership by pursuing your passion through participation in the professional organization that supports you!
