The Lucy Hobbs Project empowers women in dentistry to drive change and deliver success through networking, innovation and giving back. Born in 1833, Lucy was refused admission to dental school because of her gender.  But she persevered, eventually learning dentistry as an apprentice, graduating from The Ohio College of Dental Surgery, and becoming the first licensed female dentist in 1866. Her leadership, courage and success paved the way for other women.

Medical Practice Solutions is a group of professionals dedicated to providing exceptional service to dentists, physicians and those in the allied healthcare industries.  The Lucy Hobbs Project was formed by Benco Dental, the largest privately-owned dental distribution company in the United States, offering a full array of supplies, equipment and services to dentists across the nation. For more information, visit benco.com or call 1.800.GO.BENCO
