Incoming or current University of Colorado dental student to receive prestigious award each spring

James Ehrlich, MD of Monitored Telemedicine is pleased to announce an annual dental studies scholarship at the University of Colorado School of Dental Medicine in honor of Dr. Stanley Jacob Gottlieb, whose dental career spanned nearly 60 years (1955-2014) and was characterized by great enthusiasm and compassionate service to 1000s of Colorado citizens.

According to Ehrlich, a clinical faculty member in the Department of Medicine at the Anschutz campus of the University of Colorado, "Dr. Gottlieb brought considerable skill, pride and respect to each patient, regardless of ability to pay.  In an era where 'burnout' among healthcare professionals is rampant, Stan remained passionate about his practice and left the profession mainly because his staff was ready to retire."

Each spring beginning in May 2021, the University of Colorado School of Dental Medicine will present the Stanley J. Gottlieb Compassionate Dental Studies Scholarship to a promising pre-dental or current CU student based solely on need, personal integrity and enthusiasm for serving dental patients.  It is anticipated the $25,000 per year scholarship will continue annually far beyond the 5 years which Monitored Telemedicine is committing.

Gottlieb grew up in New York during the depression, went to college at Purdue-West Lafayette and graduated from the Loyola Dental School (Chicago) in 1955 with a DDS degree. After being a Navy dentist attached to the Marine Corps at 29 Palms, California he moved to Colorado (he loved fishing and skiing) and opened his private solo dental practice in 1957.  Golf became an important avocation after he retired from dentistry at age 83.

According to grandson Alex Jacob Bush, "Papa has always been one of the most dedicated people I know. His work was really his passion and if he were able, he would've continued until the day he died…..Papa loved sharing his passions with us--- from fishing to golf to dentistry."

Speaking on behalf of the family, Stan's daughter Lisa Gottlieb Bush states, "we are very proud that Dr. Stanley Jacob Gottlieb is being recognized and will be remembered for his service to the community and to the dental profession.  His enthusiasm, integrity and dedication during his long career never fails to inspire everyone he meets."

Panthera Dental is finalizing its assistance project for various Quebec hospitals in order to counter COVID-19, with a total delivery of more than 250,000 face shields. It is through the restructuring of production, the support of the community, the participation of several partners, and employees dedicated to the cause that the company greatly surpassed its initial production goal. Panthera will deliver its last face shields to the CHU de Québecin the next few days.

The project has allowed the company and its partners, such as Voxel Factory, Bodycad, Dicom, and many more, to sustain employment for more than 100 families during this difficult period. In addition to 250,000 face shields supplied to hospitals, Panthera will have donated more than 3,000 face shields to non-profit organizations.

The success of the project was made possible by the support of several partners and by the help of a community of more than 450 3D printer owners throughout Quebec, including the Covid3Dqc group. After providing the community with raw materials, Panthera received about 50,000 face shields from the Covid3Dqcgroup. Those face shields were then inspected, disinfected, assembled, and distributed to different hospitals across the province of Quebec.

“One part of the Covid3Dqc group production was dedicated to product delivery for local demand and the other part to the collaboration with the Panthera Dental company.This collaboration was established to very efficiently supply the various hospitals of Quebec. Thank you to regional coordinators and thank you to the Panthera Dental team members.” —Marc-Olivier Girard, Head of theCovid3Dqc group.

“The main goal of this project was to sustain as many jobs as possible in our great Panthera family. Our new headquarters’ factory, which is normally 100% automated, completely transformed itself to establish visor disinfection and assembly stations in order to respond to the urgent need for medical supplies. One thing is certain: Mission accomplished for our team and our partners!” says Gabriel Robichaud, CEO of Panthera Dental.

Now having a system in place for massive emergency production of medical supplies, the company says it is ready to respond to a call for assistance once more, should a possible second wave occur, even though it is not a situation that is wished for.

Panthera Dental wants to thank, once again, its numerous partners for their donations of materials or for their time commitment to the project: Simons, the Musée de la civilisation, GE, ABB, Filaments.ca, and many more.
