FHTC VOLUNTEERS FOR MISSION OF MERCY
The Kansas Mission of Mercy was
held January 27 and 28 in Manhattan,
Kansas and students from Flint Hills
Technical College’s dental hygiene and
assisting programs volunteered their
time along with many other volunteer
dentists, hygienists and assistants.
This was dental hygiene instructor,
Rhonda Weatherbie’s twelfth year of
participation and the fourth year that
she has taken FHTC dental hygiene
students. The event fulfills part of the
students’ Clinic IV requirements and
gives them an opportunity to observe
and participate in a variety of dental
care needs.
“Students are exposed to extreme
conditions and makes them more
aware of situations they may
encounter in the workforce. It’s also
a great opportunity to network with
many dental professionals,” says
Weatherbie.
All together, volunteers provided
1,041 patients with $1,102,222 in
care, a little over $1,000 in patient
care provided free for those in need of
dental health care.
