SAID 49th Annual Session
Raleigh, NC November 6th - 7th 2014
Your Invitation...
Dear Members and Friends,
Though it started out as a regional meeting of dental professionals who served in facilities for individuals with cognitive challenges, Special Care Advocates in Dentistry (SAID) now unites dedicated professionals from across the country and from many practice settings. They strive daily to improve the lives of individuals burdened with a variety of special health care needs. These professionals return to this meeting every year to exchange ideas, news, and innovations and offer camaradeie to others treating those who are at the highest risk for dental disease, but vulnerable to access to dental care as the healthcare landscape changes for us all.
The theme of this year's meeting is The Affordable Care Act: Is it Addressing Special Needs and Medically Necessary Dental Care? The changes and challenges that are on the horizon in healthcare benefits are sure to affect our delivery of dental care for the special needs patient. Our speakers will focus on both clinical advancements and policy changes that we will soon encounter on a daily basis.
This year our meeting returns to North Carolina, and Raleigh is excited to host us. Not only is it the capital city, but it is also known as the "City of Oaks". The oaks will surely paint the landscape, but Raleigh's museums and historic sites will add color to the visit for those with a passion for history or seeking cultural inspiration. Raleigh also offers beautiful venues for outdoor recreation, surprising interplays of art and nature, and the excitement of some of the most colorful sports rivalries anywhere. The host hotel, the Marriott Crabtree Valley is close to great shopping, food, and live entertainment. Food networks and writers have praised the flavors handed down from the barbecue pits of North Carolina, seafood transported fresh daily from the North Carolina Coast, ethnic flavors from the far corners of the earth, and craft beers and local wines that prove that this is the new South.
A huge thanks to everyone on the executive committee for the support throughout the year, with special recognition to Secretary, Betsy White and Webmaster, Dr. Bob Leonetti . Thanks also to Drs. Donna Spears and Becky Tate who introduced me to this organization and new perspectives on residential care for individuals with intellectual disabilities.
Come to Raleigh, and join us as we seek solutions to the challenges faced by our special patients!
Bob

Relax at the conclusion of the meeting with a Raleigh Trolley Tour and enjoy some of Raleigh's history and flavor! You will see the Joel Lane house, built in 1769 and home to the "Father of Raleigh" and facilitator of the establishment of North Carolina's capital city onto his land in 1792. Learn about Mordecai, the oldest house in Raleigh on its original location, the site of the largest plantation in Wake County, and currently a preservation park for numerous Capital City historic structures and gardens. Discover the 1795 birthplace of Andrew Johnson, the only President of the United States to be impeached. Visit the Raleigh City Market, where farmers from Eastern North Carolina brought produce, poultry, seafood, flowers, and home baked goods for the Capital's households. The hour tour highlights many interesting Raleigh sites.
Continue the evening at some of Raleigh's finest eateries. Relax with a beverage and take in more of Raleigh's past, present, and future, all on display through old press clippings and images from the namesake newspaper, adorning the walls of Raleigh Times, in a beautifully restored 100 year old building. The rooftop patio provides some of the best views of downtown Raleigh. Experience the crossroads of Raleigh's Lebanese community's heritage and their North Carolina opportunities. Enjoy Sitti's mezze: small dishes, authentic, fresh, and rippling with subtle spices and rich, imported Kalamata olive oil accentuated by delicious house-baked flat-breads.
... or enjoy Raleigh's tastes of the "New South" in a restaurant of your choice. Watch for links to Raleigh's finest.
