What is Lobby Day?
Lobby Day is an annual event where dental hygienists and dental hygiene students from across Massachusetts come together at the State House to advocate for our profession and the oral health of our communities. This is a unique opportunity for us to meet directly with legislators and their staff to discuss important issues that impact dental hygienists, patients, and the future of oral health care in our state.
Why is Lobby Day Important?
By participating in Lobby Day, we:
- Raise Awareness: Educate lawmakers about key concerns and the critical role dental hygienists play in improving public health.
- Shape Policy: Advocate for legislation that advances our profession, expands access to care, and supports patients’ oral health needs.
- Take Action: Present information on specific bills and encourage legislators to support policies that benefit dental hygiene and public health.
- Create Change: By engaging directly with policymakers, we influence decisions that shape the future of dental hygiene in Massachusetts.
- Amplify Our Voice: Show a united front as a profession, ensuring our concerns and priorities are heard at the highest levels.
