In fall 2016, Vision To Learn brought our services to Michigan. Partnering with the Detroit Health Department (DHD), Vision To Learn established a full-time mobile vision clinic to serve students in Detroit public schools. The Detroit project kicked off with a press event at Samuel Gompers Elementary and Middle School, attended by Detroit Mayor Mike Duggan, Detroit Pistons Forward Tobias Harris, DPSCD Interim Superintendent Alycia Meriweather, and DHD Executive Director Dr. Abdul El-Sayed. The project is anticipated to provide free eye exams and glasses to over 5,000 k-8 students in the first year alone. With the Detroit program as a base, Vision To Learn also plans to serve students in Flint and communities throughout Southeastern Michigan.
