History of Component 10The Northwest Virginia Dental Hygienists’ Association was formed in 1977. Charter members included Diane Collis, Jan (Wahl) Miller, Donna Diamond, Jane Boyd and Betsy Conlon. We are a small but very active component and represent dental hygienists in the counties of Clarke, Frederick, Page, Shenandoah, Warren and Rockingham as well as the cities of Winchester and Harrisonburg. We have had as few as six members and as many as forty members and we have always looked to new members for new experiences and ideas for development of the component.Dental hygienists are very active
participants in community events. We take part in the Winchester Community
Wellness Festival, the Thomas Harrison Middle School Dental Health Fair in

in-service education for nursing home employees, annual toothbrush drive for
a selected area abused women’s shelter, contribution to Share the Cheer
Foundation, provide dental hygiene services for the Free Medical Clinic in
