Seasons Greetings to all of you DCA Family members! We hope this note fi nds each and every one of you healthy, happy and at the ready for a joyous holiday season. While we clip the mistletoe, mix the egg nog and put out the candy canes this time of year, it is also a reminder that we are approaching the turn to 2020. As we look back on our development endeavors in 2019, we are happy to report that it has been an active one for new affi liations. We have celebrated the addition of 14 new brands to the DCA network, with a few more to hopefully cross the fi nish line by year’s end. We have added partners in existing states as well as new states and across the spectrum of care. Regardless of address or care provided, they all are representative of our commitment to clinical quality, patient experience, patient fi rst culture and growth. We are so very excited and fortunate to have them be a part of our mission. #StrongerTogether... no doubt. And a special call out to our team who have worked tirelessly and collaboratively to bring these new affi liations to fruition. Job well done.
New affi liations are not the only additions to call out though. We would like to welcome Grace Kingdon to the DCA Family as well. Grace joined DCA in July from DaVita and is the Director of M&A Process and Diligence. In very short order, Grace has brought

leadership, coaching, execution and a steady hand to the group and we are so very glad she is an integral part of the team. In addition, we have welcomed newly revised processes around diligence, business improvement and value creation, all of which have fostered an enterprise-wide commitment to making our affi liations a success. A special call out to the team for improving our approach to affi liations and creating value therein.
With merely days left, we have some affi liations to wrap up like holidays gifts before the year’s end. It will require a team eff ort but we know we can count on one another and each person’s best eff orts to bring the year to a successful completion.
We wish each and every one of you the happiest of holidays.

2019 DCA DENTAL HYGIENIST OF THE YEAR
It’s been a record year for our hygiene team! So this year, it’s exceptionally important to recognize DCA hygienists across the country.
We are delighted to award Lisa Kil, RDH, from Wadas Dental Center of Munster in Indiana with the 2019 Golden Nevy Award!
Lisa Kil is the solid health care provider we count on in the Midwest. Her thorough patient care is reflected in her production numbers every single week of the year. She represents the best of DCA and as a coach, I use her as an example of what is possible.
Rita Rogers, RDH
Lisa has been with DCA for ten years, and is a very passionate, loyal, and dedicated team member to the Munster family practice. She goes above and beyond to provide world-class patient care and an excellent patient experience!
“I have had the pleasure to work alongside Lisa for nine of my ten years in dentistry, and look forward to many more! She is fully deserving of this award and I am proud she is part of our team at Wadas - Munster and Dental Care Alliance,” shared Dr. Jason Cooper, Clinical Director for Indiana. “Lisa always practices with a ‘patient fi rst’ mindset and comes in to the offi ce each day ready to give her best!”
Lisa will receive a trip to New Orleans and registration to attend the 2020 American Dental Hygienists Association Annual Conference in June, including airfare and overnight accommodations for her and a guest!
Lisa is always smiling and has a caring and positive personality. She is warm and sincere with patients, and does a great job in explaining what her patients need.
Jen Stephen, EFDA
Lisa makes me smile. She loves what she does, and it shows. She loves to get to know her patients and to make them smile and laugh. She’s an amazing coworker!
Lisa is a positive and bubbly person who gets along with everyone. Her wonderful personality is great for office morale and she will always brighten our day.
