We are extremely proud to share that ADA Forsyth Institute officially accepted our Gold Award (Greater Boston Region) at MassEcon's Team Massachusetts Economic Impact Awards Gala last evening 🏆

This award recognizes the economic impact of our move to 100 Chestnut St., City of Somerville which brings $100M+ in research funding, a growing workforce, and expanded research and clinical capacity to our new community.

Representing AFI at the awards ceremony were team members across the administration, clinical care and research units, as well as new and longtime friends and supporters including JLL Managing Director Robert Coughlin, a City of Somerville representative, Board members Dr. Maria Ryan, Dr. Jonathan Knapp, and Dr. Nader Nadershahi.

In his acceptance speech, CEO Dr. Wenyuan Shi reflected on 116 years of foundational discoveries, from establishing one of the first dental hygiene schools in the nation to pioneering fluoride research.

Thank you, MassEcon! We look forward to continuing to support innovation and development across the Commonwealth! 🦷
