Remembering Gene F. Napoliello, DDS

This year, in memory of Dr. Gene, we will be awarding Dental Assisting Grants as part of our SMILE grants. These grants focus on establishing or expanding dental assisting programs across New Jersey and Connecticut, as well as finding ways to provide opportunities for youth to learn more about dental assisting careers. We are offering these grants to continue Dr. Gene’s quest and legacy to support our future health care leaders, in turn, creating greater access to dental care for all.
