The Washington State Dental Association (WSDA) is the voice of dentistry in Washington. With over 4,000 member dentists, WSDA is dedicated to empowering members to advocate for and provide the highest quality oral health care.
New laws and regulations taking effect include a B&O tax increase, minimum wage increase & the start of Paid Family and Medical Leave program employee benefit utilization.
Reducing prescriptions and encouraging proper disposal of unused medicines through national Drug Take Back Days will help address diversion issues and drug abuse.
The Neighborcare Health Dental Clinic at Providence St. Peter Hospital will provide underserved families and individuals access to oral health care services.
We look forward to supporting the good works of our component societies & expanding dental residency programs across the state with a new strategic vision for the WSDA Foundation.
Paid Family & Medical Leave Program reporting for Quarter 4 is due by Jan. 31. Additionally, beginning Jan. 1, employers will need to offer paid family and medical leave through either the state plan or a voluntary plan.
