It has been a great year at Ensight and the work we do continues to improve the lives of those living with vision loss. Our low vision rehabilitation program has expanded partnerships with Colorado Retinal Associates, Colorado Opthalmology Associates, Eye Care Center of Northern Colorado and the Eye Center of Northern Colorado. These leading clinics on eye care are referring patients earlier so that instead is being unsure of what’s ahead for them on their journey through vision loss, people can immediately begin to line up services and resources. Hearing “there is nothing more that can be done” is happening less and less and for that we are proud. No one should live in fear of the darkness, Lions, no one.
Other great happenings have been our expansion to the western slope. It is not new that we visit, but recently we have been able to set up programs that allow for us to visit every 5-6 months for multiple days. We partner with the Center for Independence and the MESA County ADRC to run clinics where people not only receive services and home visits but tools as well.
Ensight also just completed our 6th annual Halloween Eye Ball. We want to thank the Lions who supported our annual fundraiser, especially PDG Ken Moore and 1st Vice DG Michelle McGowan who came dressed and ready to party along with Lions Karin Schwols and Rhonda Woodburn from the Loveland Sundown Club and Lions Alan Beatty and Darlene Sanders from the Fort Collins Lions. It was a fun time and you are all invited to the 2019 Eye Ball on Saturday October 26th 2019.
Last, but not least, please consider making a donation to the Ensight Skills Center during Colorado Gives Day! This year’s day of giving falls on Tuesday, December 4th 2018. Donations help our team of low vision professionals change lives for the better as we empower individuals who are visually impaired.
