ToeShark Visual Communication would like to congratulate to Dr. Steve Chenin and Dr. David Chenin on being named Nevada Business Magazine’s 2015 Humanitarian Healthcare Heroes.

The annual Healthcare Heroes Awards honors outstanding healthcare professionals in Nevada. The program recognizes Northern Nevada and Southern Nevada winners across 10 categories at two events. Proceeds from both events benefit Nevada students looking to pursue a career in healthcare education.

Chenin Orthodontics has been in business and Las Vegas for over 55 years and prides themselves on providing personal health care to all clients. They have amazing innovations in orthodontics for example, their doctors’ research made the cover of The Journal of Clinical Orthodontics (JCO) for their development of 3D technology for improved patient care.

Chenin Orthodontics provides humanitarian work through their annual Candy Buyback Program. Last year they collected 2500 pounds of candy and donated it to deployed soldiers along with messages and photos. Every year they send candy to Operation Gratitude, an organization that ships packages to U.S. military members and their families. Chenin Orthodontics pays a dollar per pound of candy to children willing to donate.

Furthermore, Chenin Orthodontics participates in Project 150. Project 150 helps homeless students in the Clark County School District (CCSD) with the skills to stay in school and succeed in life. Chenin Orthodontics donated 155 gowns and accessories facilitate making Las Vegas high school student’s prom dreams come true. In addition, Chenin Orthodontics helps local teachers by taking nominations for teacher of the month and providing the winners with additional resources for their classrooms.

Dr. Chenin provides generous support for over 100 different schools, non-profits and charities over the past decade. His contributions go beyond financial resources by donating his professional services to benefit local schools, PTA’s, clubs, music, and sports programs. Not to mention, Dr. Chenin and his staff enthusiastically participate in community events such as the Candlelighters, Danny Gans Memorial Run, and FARE Walk for Food Allergy. In fact, their support of FARE helped enable legislative action to provide Epinephrine Pens to every School in Clark County.

Dr. David Chenin philanthropic efforts extend to participation in Freedom Friday. Freedom Friday is a non-profit organization formed to provide the local Las Vegas Veteran population dental care when they are unable to afford it. Dr. Chenin and other dentists work with Americans Helping Heroes and the Las Vegas Urban League. These groups help to organize by screening the Las Vegas veteran population they know are in need of any type of dental health care and the dental professionals provide them with the appropriate services.

Chenin Orthodontics is dedicated to providing a family atmosphere to their patients and throw parties to celebrate and express appreciation for their clients. Recently, they held a party to honor over 500 clients and their families at Crystal Palace Skating centers.
