Tami Photinos Executive Director Community and Oral Health

It is great to publish the second edition of the Community and Oral Health Express in our new format as we still have a lot catch up on.

Recently, we acknowledged our health heroes not only during Health Heroes Week, but our virtual Excellence Awards winners and highly commended recipients.

The awards were good and an opportunity to pause, get together on teams and really focus on the great things that have been achieved over the past year, and throughout the COVID-19 response.

In this edition, we focus on one of the excellence award winners, the Smarter Smiles team who are making such a difference to at risk adolescents in Pine Rivers.

It is good to see all of the great work occurring in the virtual clinic space and the time being taken by staff to not only say RUOK? but to look out for each other.

Check out the Fun Shirt … RUOK? Day Snapshot which is worth and read – and I won’t spoil.

Thank you all for your continued support and efforts taking care of our most vulnerable patients and residents.

Please continue to look after one another.

Thank you,

Tami Photinos
