And just like that… we’ve reached the end of the first quarter of 2026.

Let me ask you something…

Are you on track this year—
or simply in motion?

Because those two can feel very similar… but lead to very different outcomes.

Take a moment to reflect:

Are you making meaningful changes in your practice?
Or has the pace of the year carried you forward… without much shifting in how you show up each day?

This week, I want to bring your focus to one area that has the power to truly elevate patient care:

Oral Cancer Screening.

Not just doing it…
but doing it with intention, confidence, and consistency.

Ask yourself:

• Are you consistently performing a thorough, comprehensive oral and oropharyngeal cancer screening?
• Are you having conversations about HPV and confidently recommending vaccination where appropriate?
• Do you have the tools and systems in place to support your screening protocol?
• Do you feel confident in what you’re looking for… and how to communicate findings with both the dentist and your client?
• Do you know your next steps when something doesn’t look right—referrals, documentation, follow-up?

These are the moments where we move from routine… to impact.

April is Oral Cancer Awareness Month, and it’s always been one of the most meaningful times of the year for me.

I’m so excited to share that Jo-Anne Jones will be joining us at rdhu this April for a powerful, in-person experience.

This is a program that teams attend together…
because when everyone is aligned, everything changes.

- Your screening becomes more consistent
- Your communication becomes more confident
- Your documentation becomes stronger
- And most importantly… your patients benefit

You’ll leave with:

• Practical strategies you can implement immediately
• A Healthcare Referral Pad to support next steps
• HPV Talking Points to guide meaningful conversations
• Resources that support a comprehensive 2026 QA goal

I know for some of you this may mean a bit of travel…
and for others, it might be right in your backyard.

But if this is an area you’ve been wanting to strengthen, this is one of those experiences that can truly shift how you practice.

Reserve your spot here

(And if you take a peek at the page… the testimonials say it better than I ever could.)

As we close out Q1, this is your gentle nudge…

Not to do more—
but to do what matters most, even better.

You still have three quarters ahead of you.

Let’s make them count.

Warmly,
Kathleen
