NYSDA Presents Albert H. Stevenson Award

THE NEW YORK STATE DENTAL ASSOCIATION continued its tradition of recognizing an outstanding graduating student from each of the state’s dental hygiene schools with the presentation of the Albert H. Stevenson Award. This award is given to a graduating student who displays the leadership qualities and enthusiasm that Dr. Stevenson gave to the field of oral hygiene.

Dr. Stevenson proudly communicated the importance of the oral hygiene field and advocated to have dental hygiene recognized as a licensed profession. The dental hygiene profession as it stands today is due, in part, to Dr. Stevenson’s tireless dedication.
