Wilkins is the author of the textbook,
“Clinical Practice of the Dental
Hygienist.” Dental hygiene educators
consider it to be the “Dental Hygiene
Bible.” The majority of the 335 Dental
Hygiene programs nationally incorporate
her textbook into their curriculum.
Wilkins lives in Boston and is currently
working on the 12th edition of her text-
book.
“While researching history facts on the
dental hygiene profession I was stuck by
one quote,” says Barnes. “`The members
of any profession must know more than
just the technical and scientific facts that
make them expert and skillful in their
clinical work. They must be aware of the
many problems that affect the growth and
development of their profession.’ This is

gram. In fact, Schultze has volunteered as
VITA co-coordinator for several years.
Ogden also says that Clayton State staff
member Sundiata Bradshaw and his fel-
low workers from the HUB Help Desk
were indispensible to the success of VITA

the University of North Georgia.
The most visible manifestation of TEAM
APP’s work can be seen on the Atlanta Pet
Partners website, http://atlantapetpart-
ners.org/, in that the students created sev-
eral logo designs and tag lines and asked
APP to choose two of each for survey pur-
poses. The students also attended
Boxerfest 2012 with APP to survey public
opinion of best logo/tag line and present-
ed APP with results of survey and a sug-
gested T-shirt design using the “second

The mission of Atlanta Pet Partner is to
provide registered Pet Partners® teams at
no-cost to hospitals, assisted-living facili-
ties, hospice, physical and occupational
therapy centers, schools, libraries, certi-
fied therapist-rehab programs, mental
health programs, physiologist, retirement
homes, community health centers, rehab
programs, catastrophic community events
and crimes, disaster relief and bereave-
ment services to bring peace and hope,
joy, comfort, education and inspiration to
those in need. If indeed Team APP helped
further that mission, then Klein’s students
have been a part of a dream made real.
