Irene temporarily disrupts dental study but ADA employees, facilities unaffected

Washington—The Association’s East Coast employees reported to work Aug. 29 in sunshine and calm after Hurricane Irene raked the eastern seaboard hard on the heels of a 5.8 magnitude earthquake in the mid-Atlantic region. There were no immediate reports of damage to dental facilities from either event, and Association business continued without interruption at the ADA Washington Office and the ADA Foundation Paffenbarger Research Center in Gaithersburg, Md., each with some 20 employees.
