New Year, New Perspectives
The ISDS Foundation has been diligently working the last couple of months preparing for the New Year with new perspectives. We want you to know who we are, what we do and how we would like to work with you in improving the oral health of children, families and individuals throughout the state.

For example, did you know that the ISDS Foundation annually supports dental health projects throughout Illinois via its community grant program? Did you know that the ISDS Foundation offers a dentist support program which provides specific assistance for dentists struggling with addiction and substance abuse? Or, did you know that the ISDS Foundation Board of Directors is made up of twenty-one (21) passionate individuals that have dedicated themselves to the Foundation's mission?

In 2019, please make a resolution to get to know the ISDS Foundation - it's an integral part of the dental profession. It may give you a new perspective.

A huge shout out to the Arcolian Dental Arts Society for their donation delivered by Dr. Rosella Spadoni to ISDS Foundation Board member, Dr. Donald Kipper.

As a not-for-profit charitable organization, the Arcolians have, to date, given nearly a quarter-million dollars over the life of the organization to schools, charities, research institutions and for scholarships to dental students.

Again, thank you to the Arcolians for the generous monetary gift!
