VOSH/California was established in 1988 by four optometrists, Dr. Greg Pearl, Dr. David Krasnow, Dr. Barry Leonard and Dr. Neil Mietus. Together they decided to join the network of OD’s providing eye care services to needy populations around the world. Since the first trip to Costa Rica in 1989, VOSH/Cal has conducted over 50 missions to 14 countries and provided services to over 300,000 patients. During that time VOSH/Cal has donated over $11.0 million in medicine, equipment, supplies and services to countries in Central and South America and Asia. In addition, VOSH/Cal has worked diligently to incorporate student VOSH chapters in its programs. Participating schools include: SUNY, NEWENCO, SCCO, Indiana, Illinois, UC Berkeley, Pacific and Alabama. |
