Oral Health Nevada Inc, a 501(c)3 Nonprofit organization, is supporting Nevada’s Oral Health Matters Legislative Days (March 25-26) again this legislative session.  Although the events will most likely be “virtual,” we will be compiling and disseminating educational and informational resources for the legislators to utilize during their important oral health decisions this session. OHN could really use help with printing and delivery expenses.  This donation could be tax deductible – ask your accountant!
