Throughout last year, they were able to schedule many clients from agencies such as House to Home, MOV Fellowship Home, and St. Joseph's Recovery Center; may of these individuals hadn't had eye exams in years. Their eye exam program has also been valuable to people with diabetes, who comprise a large segment of the population they serve.
