Christy Hoffman

Christy Hoffman is the Clinical Safety Supervisor for Allied Health Sciences' Dental Hygiene program, housed in the College of Public and Allied Health. She began employment in the College as a secretary eight years ago and her exceptional job skills and dependability have allowed her to advance to her present position. Christy is valued in Dental Hygiene for her reliability and for her willingness to routinely adjust her work schedule to meet the needs of practicing students and operation of the Dental Hygiene Clinic. In addition to being well liked by the students, staff, and faculty, Christy's work has been recognized as a model for the University. In a May 2006 Health and Safety Inspection Report, inspectors for ETSU's Health and Safety Office commended her exceptional work as OSHA coordinator. The report stated, “This clinic could be used as an example of OSHA compliance in a clinic setting. It is obvious that the personnel maintaining these labs care greatly about the safety of students, staff, and patients.” Her professionalism and caring are assets to the department, college, and University and are key to successfully maintaining a quality training clinic for the Dental Hygiene program.

Thank you, Christy, for being with us here at ETSU !
