The Santa Fe Group has been chosen as the recipient of the “Special Recognition” Award for 2022 from the Edward B. Shils Entrepreneurial Fund. This award is given to honor SFG’s achievements in advancing oral health and to recognize their significant positive impact on the oral health community and the health of the public.
The Shils Awards are given annually in recognition of individuals, organizations, and programs from all parts of the oral health community who contribute to the advancement of the practice of dentistry and the delivery of oral healthcare to all people.
“Since we first conceived of these awards, they’ve prominently celebrated the innovators, big thinkers, and fearless entrepreneurs whose vision for our industry has shaped the oral health of so many,” said Steven W. Kess, President of the Edward B. Shils Entrepreneurial Fund’s Board of Directors. “The honorees continue to exemplify Dr. Shil’s belief that the values of entrepreneurship and education create long-lasting and far-reaching impacts when carried into the public health sector.”

Can’t believe it’s been 25 years since Dr Larry Meskin and Dr Dom diPaolo founded the SantaFe Group in our living room in Santa Fe. Larry would have been honored to know the SFGroup has been together so long accomplishing many of the great things he only dreamed of. He himself was a recipient of the Shils award years ago. I wish the Santa Fe group continued strength, ambition, and innovation as it begins its next 25 years.Bravo!
