Dental hygiene and dental students,
The good news is that you have all been doing a great job at using the OHAF funds to support patient care and your learning. You are making a tremendous impact on the oral health of many people within our community that otherwise
would not have received care.
We are now at a point where the OHAF fund is depleting rapidly, and I am no longer able to approve any further OHAF patient funding requests until we have more information. I have overcommitted the OHAF funds with the expectation
that not all of the treatment would ultimately be completed. We now need to know what treatment that has been approved will not be moving forward so that we can have a clearer financial view of what monies we have remaining until 31 March. This update will
help ensure that any committed funds from approved treatment can be redirected to other student requests for funding now.
We need to know what treatment that has ALREADY been approved will NOT be proceeding.
Please open the link below and follow the directions exactly. Time is critical as there are many students still requesting OHAF funding, review the document and
update for each of your patients by Monday 16 Feb 2026 at 4pm.
For those who do not update their patient profile we will assume that you no longer need the funding for your patient and suspend funding for any treatment that has not be started.
Any questions let me know.
