Doing What's Best for the Children

摘要

In part, our vision statement affirms that "the AAPD is the leader in representing the oral health interests of children, including infants, children, adolescents, and persons with special health care needs." It's noteworthy and appropriate that the focus of this statement is not on what's best for us individually or in our self-interest as an organization, but in doing what's best for the children. This attitude has long been the driving force in all that we do, and in large part, I believe, a major reason why we have been able to be so successful.
