Celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month |
|
ORAL HEALTH EDUCATIONThe Hispanic Student Dental Association (HSDA) at Columbia University College of Dental Medicine created this educational video to be shared with schools and kids in the Washington Heights - NY community during the shelter-in-place order due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The club's goal is to spread oral health awareness to kids and their caregivers now that they have transitioned to homeschooling and may have more access to snacks and food at home. |

HELPING OUR COMMUNITY
Hispanics are disproportionally affected by the COVID-19 pandemic worsening the existing inequalities in medical and oral access to care here in New York. With the help of our chapter's faculty advisor, Dr. Aguirre, and our school's Director of Student Affairs, Jary; our Club's President was able to bring a Colgate toothpaste donation from Reading, Pennsylvania to be distributed across multiple organizations here in the Heights. For our first community service event of the semester, we partnered with the Catholic Charity Alianza Division.
