Dr. Hector Bush Receives Community Service Award
Atlanta, GA – Dr. Hector Bush received the Metro Atlanta YMCA’s 2010 Volunteer of Year award in recognition of his involvement in the Andrew & Walter Young Family YMCA.  

Giving back to the community has always been a part of Dr. Bush’s philosophy.  His philanthropic endeavors began when he opened Orthodontic Care of Georgia in 1994.  Dr. Bush donated orthodontic care to troubled and neglected children through the Methodist Home in Macon and the Beatrice Carey Steel Pitts Orphanage in Atlanta.  For the past 12 years, Dr. Bush has continued to help children through his Share a Smile program. The Share a Smile program provides free braces to deserving children throughout the Atlanta Metro area.  Dr. Bush’s staff and associates, Dr. Sylvester Carlo, Dr. Jamal Duval, Dr. David Lofters, Dr. Leroy Venn and Dr. Marc Wright, have played a major role in the Share a Smile program by providing orthodontic care in a caring and comfortable environment. 

“Since opening the practice in 1994, a large part of our mission has been to help deserving and needy children in our area,” said Dr. Bush, owner of Orthodontic Care of Georgia. “This is an extension of his belief in giving back to our communities through our gifts and abilities.”

Recently, Dr. Bush combined forces with Dr. Walter F. Young and Ambassador Andrew J. Young, Jr. to further extend his community service efforts by providing free orthodontic care to more than 50 children involved in the Andrew and Walter Young Family YMCA. The students and families associated with this organization voted for his recognition from the Andrew and Walter Young YMCA.

“Dr. Bush is a personal friend and colleague of mine; I have been referring patients to his orthodontic practice on Cascade Road since 1998,” said Dr. Walter Young. “On behalf of myself, Ambassador Andrew Young, the children of the Andrew and Walter Young Family YMCA, we would like to thank Dr. Bush for the commitment and the charitable service which he provides. We look forward to the continuation of this unique and special gift.”

“The children and parents are very appreciative,” added Dr. Bush. “The YMCA had an event a few months back and we had huge turnout of happy, smiling kids.”

With more than forty-five years of combined experience, the doctors at Orthodontic Care of Georgia thrive on the challenge orthodontics present.
