I met hygienist Kathy DiFrancisco at Remote Area Medical (RAM) when they were in Oakland on Friday, March 23. RAM offers free medical, dental, and vision care to people in need. "It's the heart of the hygienist to serve the underserved and this is where the rubber meets the road." 

She says a lot of the hygienists are out of a job because people are cutting back on dental care. They just can't afford it.
