OSAP Foundation  Receives Grant

The Organization for  Safety, Asepsis and Prevention (OSAP)  Foundation is the recipient of a $95,000 grant from the Dental Assistants Foundation. The grant will support research, scholarship, and education for dental assistants, in recognition of the vital role they play in ensuring proper infection control during the delivery of dental care. The grant was presented to the OSAP Foundation in memory of Anna Nelson, CDA, RDA, MA, a leading dental assistant who was passionate about infection control. The OSAP Foundation will use the grant to fund a comprehensive safety education, scholarship, and research program geared toward dental assistants. The goal will be to underscore the importance of dental assistants in regard to infection control practices and to support dental assistants who serve as infection control coordinators in their practice settings.
