The Gift from the Heart project
A Canadian initiative which began in 2008 as a one-day event offering “no cost” dental hygiene services for those who experience barriers accessing dental hygiene care.
The Gift from the Heart project is looking to the future, to align its mission with the needs of the Canadian population.
Why we need donations:
- To support our volunteers
- To spread our message
- To develop a foundation for those in need
Give a Gift from the Heart
We all know someone who cannot financially afford preventative dental hygiene care. They are the under served and the under serviced people of our communities.
They are the neglected, those without dental insurance or those on a fixed income, the fearful and those who are not able to access oral health care. In 2008, I founded the Gift from the Heart a one day event which allows registered dental hygienists to give back to their communities by providing no cost dental hygiene care. The response was overwhelming.
For 11 consecutive years, registered dental hygienists have joined together to provide a GIFT like no other.
On Saturday April 6th, 2019 registered Dental Hygienists across Canada opened their hearts and clinics to provide oral health care to the public who may be financially unable to receive preventative oral health care or who have difficulty accessing dental hygiene treatment; at no cost.
We welcome your participation all April 4th, 2020! Make a difference and volunteer! Change a life…Save a life. The benefits to you and your community are endless. We all know people who are struggling and we can life them up and give them something to smile about.
Follow GFTH on social media for updates and when registration begins. Cheers to everyone who gave back with #GFTH19.
See you all all April 4th, 2020!
Our Mission
The Gift from the Heart project links Canadians with dental hygienists, raises awareness about access to oral health care issues and emphasizes the role of the dental hygienist as a primary oral health care provider.
Our Vision
The Gift from the Heart hopes for a future where all Canadians who experience barriers will have access to oral health care through a dental hygienist and ultimately experience improved overall health outcomes.
Our Values
The W.H.O (World Health Organization) states that: health professionals play a central and critical role in improving access and quality health care for the population.
They provide essential services that promote health, prevent diseases and deliver health care services to individuals, families and communities based on the primary health care approach.
We believe that the Gift from the Heart event is paramount in delivering this model.
Saving lives, changing lives… One smile at a time at a time
