Union Dental Holdings, Inc. (OTCBB: UDHI) -- http://www.uniondental.com/ir -- a Company that operates and manages a network of dentists throughout the United States for union members, announced today it is making plans to expand its Coral Springs facility to become a Total Service Provider (TSP) and offer all aspects of dentistry in one location for all union members.
Dr. George D. Green, President and CEO, stated: "With the consolidation of the telecoms dental benefits become a very big issue with all union members. UDHI is going to now provide all discounted dental services including Orthodontics, Endodontics, Periodontics, Implants, Pedodontics, Cosmetic Dentistry and eventually Oral Surgery in one location in Coral Springs."
Dr. Green further stated: "This will save time and money for all members because they will no longer have to be referred to specialists in other offices. We will have 'one stop shopping' so members won't have to take more time off from work for their dental needs."
CWA represents the union employees of the telecom while AFA-CWA represents the flight attendants of such airlines as United, US Airways, Northwest, Aloha, Air Wisconsin, Air Tran, America West, American Eagle, Atlantic Southeast, ATA, Piedmont, Miami Air, Alaska, PSA, Mesa, Mesaba, Midwest, Spirit, Horizon & Hawaiian.
The benefit to Union Dental from representing more than one labor organization in a given area is also beneficial to the unions with which UDHI has contracts. Where a particular organization may have scarce membership numbers in certain (usually rural) areas of the US, these numbers can be bolstered by Union Dental representing more than one labor organization and combining the membership numbers into a level that becomes financially viable for a dental offices' participation on a provider level with UDHI.
