Klamar
Presented Lucy Hobbs Project “Innovation” Award
VERSAILLES,
Ohio – (April 25, 2013) – Midmark
Corporation is proud to announce that its president and CEO, Dr. Anne
Eiting
Klamar, was recently presented The Lucy Hobbs Project Award by Benco
Dental.
Lucy
Hobbs challenged cultural norms of her time to
become the first female dentist displaying courage, tenacity and
skillful
leadership. The Lucy Hobbs Project honors the courage, tenacity and
leadership
that Lucy Hobbs displayed in pursuing her passion. The project is a
movement
that creates an inclusive, encouraging environment for women of all
backgrounds
to be inspired and connect with each other. In addition, it provides
opportunities for creative minds to network and innovate the future of
the
dental industry from products and services to education and
professional
development, as well as give back to communities, specifically to those
that
are less fortunate.
Klamar
stated, “I am extremely humbled and honored to
receive this award. Through this program, Benco Dental is not only
providing a
platform to listen and better understand the insights and needs of
women, but
it is also able to give back to the community whether dentists, office
staff,
dental students or patients.” Klamar continued, “This program aligns
with
Midmark’s mission to make a positive difference in the practice of
healthcare
and in every life we touch. I am pleased to be able to serve within
this
community.”
This
year awards were given to several women who excel
in a variety of categories including women to watch, successful
practice/icon
in the industry, mentorship, humanitarianism, clinical expertise and
innovation. Benco Dental encouraged people across the U.S. to nominate
the
woman they feel is an inspiration to others. Klamar, also a physician
and
graduate of Harvard Business School’s Owners’ and Presidents’
Management
Program, was chosen for The Lucy Hobbs Award based on her success in
business,
creating positive changes and advancement for women, participation in
charities
including helping refurbish Tanzania’s only dental school, staying
current with
clinical trends, and her passion to focus on new product and service
innovation. Klamar is passionate about efficient, effective patient
care and in
helping dentists see more patients with higher-quality care. She is
also a
founder of Professional Women in Healthcare, a mentoring and education
network.
“The
Lucy Hobbs Project award winners were the
highlight of our first annual celebration event,” stated Julie
Radzyminski,
director of business innovation at Benco Dental. “Our celebration
attendees
were truly moved and inspired by their stories, their leadership, and
their
accomplishments. In
essence, this is
what The Lucy Hobbs Project is all about; getting passionate leaders in
dentistry together, learning from each other, reaching back to help
others and
innovating new ideas to benefit the entire dental industry. We were,
and
continue to be, honored to have such inspirational women at our event.”

Lucy Hobbs Project will be launching in cities all
over the nation. Local events will include local speakers, networking
