The GO Virginia Region 3 Council has recently established the Southern Virginia Partnership for Health Science Careers (SOVA Partnership) in partnership with the Claude Moore Charitable Foundation. This initiative is designed to cultivate a robust, skill-ready workforce across Southern Virginia for healthcare employers in partnership with educational providers and allied stakeholders.

The Virginia Dental Association is contributing to the effort to help economic development and education leaders understand the oral healthcare workforce needs of the community and in dental offices and clinics in the region. We strongly encourage members in the area to fill out the following 12-question survey to document their workforce needs. The survey can also be completed by the appropriate team member in the front office.
