    Hi, I'm a Salt Lake City dentist. Just wanted to thank you for your work on this piece of legislation. Many people don't know how much crossover there is with medical and dental training. A great use of resources.

    As a denture specialist in Dayton,Ohio for BestFit Dentures, I think what Dr. Burgess has put forth in the legislation is a needed addition to the federal disaster response framework, and he should be personally congratulated on his personal effort to make it a reality and not just an idea.
