Spotlight on Dental Volunteerism Publicizing the volunteer efforts and service of our members is very important to us. In this special issue of the Pennsylvania Dental Journal we focus on some of the generosity and the many ways in which PDA volunteers help people in need, whether clinics, missions and initiatives in our state, or on mission trips to other countries. In a very meaningful way you set a high standard for others in your communities to follow. These efforts have touched so many lives, and in the process, fostered a greater appreciation for what dentists do to enhance the overall health and well-being of people everywhere. We hope that the stories told here will inspire. SEP TEM BER/OC TOBER 2019 | P EN N SYLVAN IA DEN TAL JOURNAL 29
