Third-grader, Naz, was so excited to get a pair of glasses at our US vision clinic—he couldn’t stop telling us about it. He received glasses he loves, a protective case and newfound clear sight. It’s patients like Naz who inspire us to bring vision care to everyone who needs it💛

Don't let your child fall behind in school because of unclear vision. Schedule an annual eye exam to detect any vision problems early on. #kidsvision #healthyvision #glasses #eyeglasses #eyes #eyeexam

Thank you WMAR-2 News and Jeff Morgan for covering this very important bill. I am committed to fighting for Emma and others facing this same issue! youtube.com/watch?v=9NjQmI…

I had my first bill hearing of the session today! I am very excited about HB 74, which creates a Lifesaver School designation for schools that provide training to students and school personnel in physical and mental wellness. ... 1/2

It is pretty incredible timing that on the eve of my hearing on HB 74, which PBS NewsHour Report discusses the desperate need for more mental health supports in schools. HB 74 is a great way to provide these supports students are begging for.

So true
