· Our dental team, including Dr Frazee, Jennifer and Sharon, recently participated in the “In-Shape Indiana” Walk. They made tee-shirts that read “Our Extractions are Painless, ISP Dental” and were accompanied by 20 other ISP staff including the superintendent! Kudo’s to all of you!
· We would like to extend a heartfelt congratulations to our dental assistant, Jennifer, as she graduates from Purdue University with a Bachelor’s Degree!
· Thank you to the Indiana University Hygiene students who have completed their semester at ISP and managed to clean approximately 240 offender’s teeth!

May 7th, 2009 by Kim Mosby
As the number of confirmed cases grow, the government is also learning more about the outbreak. Although most cases seem to be mild, it still has the potential to be a major threat. Please continue to follow the suggested precautions and limit your contact with individuals that may be showing any symptoms.

Ohio Car Buffs
April 29th, 2009 by Kimberly Whitis
I have discovered that some of our Ohio staff and even clients are old car buffs like me. Mrs. Terri Green, former HCA of Hocking Correctional, is fond of her late 60’s Camaro’s. Dr Franz, of CCI, is a proud Mustang owner like my self. I thought some of you would like to know about a large car show being held in Columbus, OH, in July. The Good Guys Rod & Custom Show will be held at the Expo Center on July 10, 11, 12th and will host 2000-3000 hotrods. My husband and I will be exhibiting our Mustang and I would love to see some of you there. There is no need to be a hotrod owner to attend, spectators are more than welcome. Follow the link to the “Good Guys” website for more info. Hope to see you there!
Back to work after a rejuvenating vacation!
April 27th, 2009 by Kimberly Whitis
I’ve returned from my week long quilting adventure rejuvenated and ready to tackle our new recruiting challenges. I spent this last week in Paducah, KY at the National Quilt Convention where I found inspiration in the talent and patience it took to design and complete those beautiful quilts. I know this is a long shot but I figure it takes talent, patience and imagination to be a recruiter as well! Upon my return to the office I found that we are expanding our dental services into Florida. My task is now to find dentists and assistants for the new portable route we are developing. I’m thankful we are expanding into some southern states. Florida in winter sounds so much better than Cleveland in winter. No offense to Cleveland though as I’ve grown fond of the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame and Case Western. Ok, so I’m off to begin my quilt inspired recruiting adventure!
Needle Safety
April 23rd, 2009 by Kim Mosby
MAH experienced a 42% increase in Workers Comp claims in
2008. We are not off to a good start in 2009. Needle Sticks was the number one claim in 2008 and continues to be an issue in 2009.
Recapping of needles should be limited and safety devices must be used. The BenCo catalogue has
a couple of different items that can be used.
Safety gloves should be used in the sterilization process of instruments.
Protect yourself. Think Safety!!
Overdoing it
March 23rd, 2009 by Kim Mosby
With the second nice weekend in a row, most people will be finding themselves out in the yard or in the park. It has been a long winter and we must be careful not to over do it. Just like baseball you have to have spring training and get ready for the season. The same can hold true for us weekend yard warriors or athletes. Don’t forget to stretch those muscles, lift with the legs and not the back. Work yourself into shape and be ready to play all summer.
Don’t forget spring is also time for motorcycles. Be aware one of them could be me.

Tens Reasons why MAH’s Portable Unit is Right for You
March 23rd, 2009 by Cassandra Wuensch
Ten Reasons Why MAH’s Portable
Unit Is Right For You!
Here are 10 reasons that differentiate Mid America Health, Inc. (MAH) from other dental healthcare providers.
1. Years of Experience
Mid America Health, Inc. has been in business for over 22 years…we began business in 1986. Since businesses come (and go out of business) every year, our longevity means our business formula works.
2. Convenience
We come to you. We bring our portable equipment, supplies and our professional team to your facility. We provide complete on-site consultations, dental care, on-site X-rays, surgical and follow-up services.
3. Cost Effective
MAH offers a different pricing model – a flat daily rate. MAH guarantees a fixed price instead of separate billing for each patient. Whether we see 5 patients or 15– your cost will be the same. This allows you to accurately budget for the entire year.
4. Increases Safety
By coming to your facility, we eliminate the need for potentially dangerous off-site visits. All our work is done in the safety of your facility. This increases your cost-savings by eliminating the transportation costs associated with off-site dental visits.
5. Flexible Scheduling
We come when you need us to. There are no minimum visits required. This allows you to focus on other tasks.
6. Free Visits
We offer a one-time free visit to each facility considering using our services. This allows you to “test-drive” our services, meet our practioners and see how convenient our services are.
7. No Long-term Contracts
MAH does not require a long-term contract. We understand the way smaller correctional facilities operate. We will lock-in your price for 12 months but you can cancel any time if you feel our services are no longer needed.
8. Recognized In The News
MAH was recently recognized as the 16th fastest growing private company in Indiana. A very reassuring notion given our current economic troubles. MAH grows every year and will continue to do so.
9. A Solutions Partner
MAH partners with several medical management companies to provide dental healthcare to jails, small prisons and juvenile facilities. MAH manages your dental needs while you manage your facility.
10. Our Professional Team
From our Sales Representative to our Dentist to our Dental Assistant, MAH employees help set the standards for dental healthcare providers. All our services are in accordance with the standards set by the National Commission on Correctional Health Care (NCCHC) and American Correctional Association (ACA). Let us put our experience to work for you.
