Last Friday, CSLC-Spruce Pine celebrated Dr. Dean Stacy’s birthday on the actual day—this may have been the first time. He never shared his real birthday with the team. His wife Patty was there to celebrate with a memorial plaque for all of his contributions to the clinic. This brought a lot of joy to her and her family.

Our ECU Chapter of the Student National Dental Association held its annual 5K Oral Cancer Walk recently. Many of our students joined in to make this year’s event a success!

The team at CSLC-Ahoskie took a moment for a good ol’ Easter Egg Hunt to gear up for the holiday weekend. It was an ”eggs-cellent” team building activity.

We welcomed all the CSLC business managers to Ross Hall this week to connect with Rosie Pasour and other team members, while building relationships and sharing best practices with each other.
