We had an amazing time at the HCDA End of the Year Party and Officer Installation last night! It was great to see so many familiar faces, and we want to thank all of our sponsors who attended and for their support throughout the year.

At HCDA, we are committed to giving back to the dental community, and this year we selected Mission Smiles and the Hillsborough County Dental Research Clinic (Erwin Technical College). We were honored to have them both in attendance last night to accept our donations.

As we head into the summer, we hope everyone has a great time, and we can't wait to see everyone in September. Thanks again to all of our sponsors and members who made this a memorable event!
