Access to care is foundational to well-being.

Last week VOSH-Illinois with Illinois College of Optometry and SVOSH at ICO provided eye care to survivors of domestic violence at Apna Ghar, Inc. (Our Home).

Many of the individuals we serve face significant barriers to accessing eye care, leading to delays in treatment and an increased risk of preventable vision loss. At VOSH-Illinois, we strive to reduce these barriers and deliver high-quality, comprehensive care to those who need it most.

We extend our sincere appreciation to our partners and volunteers whose commitment makes this work possible.
