Help us “Take a Bite Out of Cancer” by joining the National Bone Marrow registry.  We are offering FREE oral swabbing, at our Menominee and Daggett offices.  This campaign is cosponsored by the Michigan Dental Association and the Leukemia and Lymphoma society of Michigan.  More than 5,100 patients in Michigan and more than 1 million nationwide are waiting for a bone marrow transplant, we want to do our part to help add potential donors the the registry.  During the month of June, patients and any other member of the community are invited to come to our office to participate.  Our entire dental team is excited about this campaign and are read to welcome participants to our office. One of our employees, Kelly Everson, who has Multiple Myeloma, a blood cancer, underwent a successful Bone Marrow Stem Cell transplant in 2008.

All that is needed to join the fight against cancer is a willingness to have a simple cheek swab done and complete a registration form.  Please call us at 906-863-2206 with any questions you have or to schedule a time for your free oral swab.
