The Remote Area Medical (RAM) nonprofit clinic recently made its first visit to Alaska, setting up pop-up clinics in Anchorage and Fairbanks to provide free dental, vision, and medical services to those in need. However, RAM faced a challenge when it came to staffing the clinics with dental hygiene volunteers.
Anchorage’s new Mobile Crisis Team — which includes fire service administration alumnus Michael Riley — responds specifically to mental health emergencies, saving traditional first responders crucial time and resources.

Clinicians and students in the dental hygiene program wear orange shirts to recognize Orange Shirt Day: Every Child Matters.
UAA dental hygiene faculty participate in the signing of a Bill they say could open up additional practice options for students after graduation.
