Five legislators attended the Colorado
Springs event: Rep. Cindy Acree
(Aurora), Rep. Dennis Apuan (Colorado
Springs), Rep. Marsha Looper (Calhan),
Sen. Michael Johnston (Denver) and
incoming Rep. Janak Joshi (Colorado
Springs). Most of the legislators who
attended this year’s event came at the
invitation of their CDA action team leader,
which is a great testimony to the relation-
ships that dentists are developing with
legislators at the local level. As in years
past, the legislators who attended were
astounded by the size of the clinic, the
care provided and the volunteers who
make it all possible. Four of the five
legislators who attended will be returning
to the statehouse this month and will
continue to spread the word about
COMOM and its impact.
A grateful COMOM patient is interviewed by Channel 5 KOAA of Colorado Springs.
