The addition of the Mobile Vision Van marks a significant milestone in Alliance Medical Center’s commitment to providing accessible healthcare to underserved communities. This fully equipped van will serve as a mobile eye clinic, bringing essential vision care directly to neighborhoods and populations that face barriers to accessing traditional healthcare facilities.

Equipped with cutting-edge technology and staffed by a skilled optometrist and healthcare professionals, the Mobile Vision Van will offer a range of services including comprehensive eye exams, vision screenings, prescription eyewear fittings, and education on eye health and disease prevention.

“We are thrilled to introduce the Mobile Vision Van as part of our ongoing efforts to expand access to vital healthcare services in our community,” said Sue Labbe, CEO of Alliance Medical Center. “Vision plays a crucial role in overall health and well-being, and our goal is to ensure that everyone has the opportunity to receive quality eye care, regardless of their circumstances.”

Alliance Medical Center will initially launch on-site Optometry services at their Healdsburg clinic location. Patients will have access to comprehensive eye exams, diagnosis and treatment of eye conditions, glasses, and more, all provided by their newly hired experienced and compassionate optometrist Dr. Kris Owens.
