Petition to the Government of Canada on Thoracic Outlet Syndrome

CDHA member Kera McClement has been advocating on the issue of repetitive strain injuries and the risks dental hygienists face, especially with thoracic outlet syndrome (TOS). Her petition on TOS to the Government of Canada has been sponsored by Green Party Leader Elizabeth May, which means it will be read in Parliament, and the government must respond if it reaches 500 Canadian signatures. Please show your support by sharing and signing this petition. Your voices matter to help protect the profession and ensure dental hygienists get access to care.

Attention Dental Hygiene Practice Owners

Looking to streamline payments? We've introduced a new process for enrolling in direct deposit with Express Scripts. Visit the Insurance Claim Form & Billing Set-Up section of our website and click on “Set Up Direct Deposit” for information and helpful resources. In addition, to reduce client confusion on the national dental hygiene claim form, we’ve removed CDHA’s contact information and added the Canadian Life & Health Insurance Association (CLHIA) logo—highlighting our alignment with national insurance standards. If you have any questions about independent practice, please contact Kelly Turner, CDHA’s professional practice advisor.
