NEW IN 2009!<br />
AHA Heartsaver AED<br />
Comes to the Jewel of<br />
the Great Lakes!<br />
The <strong>Wisconsin</strong> <strong>Dental</strong> Practice<br />
Act requires all dentists and hygienists<br />
“show evidence of proficiency in the<br />
use of an automated external defibrillator<br />
in addition to showing proof of<br />
proficiency in cardiopulmonary resuscitation.”<br />
Attend one of the American<br />
Heart <strong>Association</strong> Heartsaver AED<br />
courses at this year’s Jewel of the Great<br />
Lakes <strong>Wisconsin</strong> <strong>Dental</strong> Meeting and<br />
let FIRST AID PLUS train you in<br />
the latest American Heart <strong>Association</strong><br />
guidelines for the performance of CPR<br />
and the use of an AED. Textbooks will<br />
be provided and all AHA Heartsaver<br />
AED courses meet the requirements<br />
for <strong>Wisconsin</strong> licensure.<br />
The exhibit hall at the Jewel of the Great Lakes <strong>Wisconsin</strong> <strong>Dental</strong> Meeting is a prime place for you to meet with your existing suppliers,<br />
find new products for your dental office and check out the latest technologies. Even though the economy is sluggish, you’ll find<br />
the exhibit hall is the perfect FIT for your schedule and the show specials will be a perfect FIT for your pocketbook. It’s also a FITting<br />
place to meet your staff for lunch between courses.<br />
Still aren’t sure it is a FIT for you? Then perhaps knowing that each booth you get your badge scanned at will provide you with an<br />
entry in a drawing to win a Nintendo Wii with a Wii FIT package! One package will be given away each day 15 minutes prior to the<br />
hall closing. The more booths you visit, the more chances to win.<br />
The following is a list of exhibitors signed up to support our meeting as of early March. Please support them by stopping by their booth<br />
