Executive Director Holly Jorgensen, Collaborative RDH
Holly Jorgensen, Collaborative Dental Hygienist, is the executive director and founder of Let’s Smile, Inc. that provides two programs: Oral Health Education Program and Clinical Preventive Dental Services Program in non-traditional settings through mobile dentistry since 2013.
