The announcement continues the project first funded by the Delta Dental Foundation in 2015 that provided all Sparrow Hospital Patients with a higher-quality toothbrush, toothpaste with sodium bicarbonate, alcohol-free antiseptic mouthwash, and a suction toothbrush kit for those with difficulty swallowing or spitting. That project, funded with a $175,000 grant, helped spur a marked decrease in hospital-acquired pneumonia cases. 1 CEU-Free to members, $20 for non-members-payable at the door      7:00pm 5238 W.
