The Arizona chapter of VOSH traveled to Miguel Aleman, Sonora for a vision clinic with the Hermosillo Pitic Rotary Club and the local government health division, Sedesson. The group stayed in Hermosillo and drove in each clinic morning.
Our combined volunteer group of 139 consisted of 34 optometry students, 16 doctors, 36 translators, 37 volunteers, and 16 Rotarians. 1,854 patients were examined, 76 were referred for cataract surgery, 1,046 prescription glasses were ordered, and 455 readers and 353 sunglasses were dispensed.
Dr. David Stacy, a past president and long-time member, gifted his personal diagnostic kit as an award to inspire the legacy of VOSH-AZ in our younger generation of volunteers.
