In 2006, eight hygienists were honored with the Sunstar/RDH Award of Distinction during ceremonies at the RDH Under One Roof conference in Las Vegas.
Elaine Rose Tierney of Poughkeepsie, NY, was one of the award recipients.
She recently recalled her experience, saying, "Being the recipient of this award was the highlight of my dental hygiene career. It has a place in my office where my patients can see it and comment on it, and they do at least every week!
"It also has a special place in my heart as well. We were treated so wonderful and special by everyone involved in the process. They make hygienists all over the United States feel very important. They value our experince and opinions with high regard, And I felt especially honored and proud to be on the cover of RDH (The above photo appeared on the cover of the September 2006 issue)! Thank you all once again for having me be a part of such a great event. Good luck to all of the 2010 candidates."
