We started off this year by hosting a remarkable event in collaboration with Project Vision Hawaii, dedicated to making a positive change in the lives of those affected by the Maui fires in 2023.

We provided free vision exams to individuals in need, many of whom were displaced by the devastating fires in Maui and are currently facing homelessness.

Beyond eye care, our team actively contributed to the community by working on the local garden, sowing the seeds of hope and resilience.

A special shout-out to the incredible individuals who poured their dedication, energy, and enthusiasm into this event, making it a resounding success:

• Vance Thompson, MD
• Neda Nikpoor, MD
• Deborah Gess Ristvedt, DO
• Rajesh Rajpal, MD
• Brian Schwam, MD
• Jim Ravasio
• Brad Fundingsland
• Kate Fehlhaber
• Agke Grow
• Summer Hennessy
• Ryan Naka

Thank you to everyone who played a role in making this event a beacon of hope for the Maui community. Your support and participation are the driving forces behind our shared success.

Let’s continue to create positive change, one community at a time!
