"Orofacial Manifestations of Systemic Diseases"
Course Objectives
Oral cavity is readily accessible for inspection and a gateway for assessment of general health. In fact, many systemic conditions affecting organs far from the head and neck region could manifest in the orofacial region, sometimes prior to their diagnosis. Abnormalities detected in the orofacial region may also represent complications related to medical therapy or raise concerns about substance abuse. This program provides illustrative examples of orofacial findings associated with diagnosed or subjectively silent systemic disease, medical therapy and substance abuse. Relevant signs, symptoms, and diagnostics are reviewed and the potential role of oral health care providers in recognition, referral, follow-up and overall management is emphasized.

American Heart Association
CPR Courses continue to be both online and in-person. The in-person portion is held at The Blythedale Children’s Hospital at 95 Bradhurst Avenue, Valhalla, NY 10595 (914-592-7555).
One week before the in-person portion of the course, the AHA will send you the online module. You MUST complete the program and answer the survey, print out the certificate of completion, and BRING that with you to the in-person skills assessment session. Upon successful completion, you will be provided access to download and print your 2-year certification e-card.
1. There is free parking right outside the building.
2. You will enter the lobby and then go to security and let them
know you are here for CPR. You will be directed into the board room,
which is right off the lobby, behind the security desk.
3. Skills Sessions will run approximately 45- 60 mins.
4. Wearing a mask is optional but may be required depending on infectious rates in the community.
5. Please note, although you are entering the hospital you will not
be going past the lobby so there is no concern of patient exposure on
the units or within the hospital.
