I was able to meet Dr. Gary Weist. He was vacationing in Hawaii and his friend, my former employer
Dr. Gerritsen, suggested he contact BYUH while here. We had a very productive meeting with Dr. Wiest
and he said that he would see what he could do to help to get an on-campus dental clinic to serve our
IWORK students. We plan to double the amount of these needy students from the Pacific Rim
in the next few years to help "build the Kingdom" throughout the world. He generously offered the help of the
LDS Academy of Dentistry to help equip the dental office. The major hurdle now will be to how
to get around the strict Hawaiian dental licensing laws for dentists and hygienists. I may be
gone before any of this happens if it does happen,, but it is at least exciting to help get the ball rolling.
Oh and I found out Dr. Wiest is the brother of our good friend Mark Wiest. |
