The next Dental Health Aide Therapist (DHAT) training program begins in July 2024. Accepted students will receive a full sponsorship, which covers the cost of classes and living expenses for the two-year program. The sponsorship is valued at more than $100,000 and will prepare students for a fulfilling career providing care to people in our region.

If you know anyone who you think would be a good fit for the DHAT program, including yourself, please encourage them to apply!  More information and a link to the application can be found on ykhc.org/DHAT.  The deadline for applying is February 16, 2024.

We would love to sponsor candidates from our region.  Our goal would be to have them complete the program and earn their associates degree, DHAT certification and end up in a full-time professional career providing care to others in the region where they are from.

Minimum qualification is a high school diploma or equivalent prior to the start of the program.  Healthcare or college experience is a plus.  For more information, please feel free to reach out to Trisha Patton at trisha_patton@ykhc.org or (907)543-6018.
