Welcome to the Ninth District Dental Association

The Ninth District Dental Society was formed in 1909 and renamed to the Ninth District Dental Association in 2002. We have a membership of over 1200 dentists in 5 counties: Westchester, Rockland, Dutchess, Orange and Putnam.

In its quest to serve both the public and the profession, the Ninth District embodies the highest ideals.

The mission of the 9th District Dental Association is to serve and support its members and the public by improving the oral health of our community through Advocacy, Continuing Education and Camaraderie.

The 9th Board approved creating a High School Career Day video to promote the dental field as a whole! Here's the link:

HHS OIG Issues Unimplemented Recommendations List

Oct 17, 2024

Per the notice below, the Office of the Inspector General (OIG) of the United States Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has issued its listing of the top recommendations it made that have not been implemented by HHS.

OIG has released its Top Unimplemented Recommendations, a list of key recommendations that, if implemented, would significantly improve the efficiency, integrity, and accountability of Federal programs.  These recommendations are based on OIG’s oversight work and address areas where action is needed to protect enrollees and ensure taxpayer dollars are well-spent.  With this release, OIG has modernized the list to focus on individual recommendations, removing any arbitrary limits and providing updates on the status of implementation.  Explore these impactful recommendations and see how they aim to drive positive change.
