🎓 Back to School, New Career Path! 🌟Maya Fulcher, a longtime dental hygienist, returned to school for her Master’s in Community Oral Health with the goal of teaching. But through her journey, she discovered a deeper passion: bringing essential oral health care to elderly communities, especially in long-term care facilities.Inspired by her own experience as a caregiver for her father with Parkinson’s, Maya developed an oral hygiene training program for caregivers in underserved facilities. Her research showed that many caregivers lack formal training in oral health, leading to a significant gap in care for elderly residents.Now, with her degree and the RDHAP credential in sight, Maya is committed to creating change in senior care and supporting caregivers with the tools they need to provide better oral health care.Her journey shows that education can open doors to unexpected and rewarding paths! 🙌✨ #CommunityOralHealth #ElderCare #DentalHygiene #HealthcareInnovation #BackToSchool #OralHealthCare #DentalCareForAll ...
