This is great news!!💜🫶🏻

Big news for the future of healthcare in Washington! 🦅⚕️

EWU is launching a new Dental Therapy master’s degree program designed to help fix the shortage of oral care in rural and underserved communities.

This new program is just one part of our plan to create a dedicated Health Sciences Hub in Spokane’s University District. Over the next few years, we will be realigning programs,including OT, PT, Nursing, and Dental Hygiene, into the Catalyst and SIERR buildings to help students work together and prepare for their careers.

We are proud to be training the next generation of essential healthcare workers!

Get all the details on the new program and the upcoming campus moves here: go.ewu.edu/4pJjNDt

🚨 Patient Safety Is on the Line 🚨

As 2026 legislative sessions approach, Oral Preventive Assistant (OPA) proposals are gaining momentum—but these policies allow undertrained, unaccredited providers to perform dental hygiene procedures without the education required to keep patients safe.

The only OPA pilot in the U.S. did not improve access to care or patient outcomes. Lowering standards is not the solution. Empowering licensed dental hygienists is.

📣 Lawmakers need to hear from YOU.
Join us at our Legislative Breakfast to connect directly with local senators and advocate for safe, evidence-based oral health care.

👉 Everyone is welcome — learn more and attend!
