Kansas Governor Mark Parkinson declared Friday, July 30, 2010, Eye on Diabetes Day in Kansas. VSP Vision Care partnered with the American Diabetes Association, Kansas State Optometric Association and the Kansas Diabetes Action Council to provide free eyecare, eyewear and diabetes screenings to underserved/underinsured Kansas residents with or at-risk of having diabetes.
Here’s a clip of Governor Parkinson reading the proclamation, local optometrists who volunteered their time, and patients who received the service.
We were able to help over 65 residents receive much-needed eyecare on Eye on Diabetes Day.
