Our group is called VOSH Arizona a chapter of VOSH International which stands for Volunteer Optometric Services to Humanity.
When we provide local care we refer to such an event as a clinic. And we are coming to the American Legion Post 28 in Clifton to hold one of these meaningful clinics.
Internationally we refer to this process of hosting clinics as a mission and in Mexico – a Jornada.
Licensed doctors volunteer along with assistants to provide a complete eye exam and make quality glasses available as well as diagnostic information. WE care for those who would otherwise not receive such medical care.
We do make referrals to ophthalmologists. We do not take patients away from local doctors.
We are grateful to American Legion Post 28 for providing the space and facilities to offer this clinic on Saturday August 22. More details will be published as we get closer to the Free Eye Exam Clinic Day.
