Festivities will include special features on our 2022 Volunteer Recognition page, updated resources, exclusive new digital swag, and much more.

ASCRS FOUNDATION 2022 OPERATION SIGHT VOLUNTEER OF THE YEAR SPOTLIGHT
|
The ASCRS Foundation is proud to spotlight the 2022 Operation Sight Volunteers of the Year in our newsletter. This month, we shine a light on Michael Graham, MD. Recognized for his passion, advocacy, and immeasurable impact on the lives of Operation Sight patients, Dr. Graham was recently interviewed about his experience partnering with the ASCRS Foundation to serve the need of his local community.
"In this country, some people can get lost in the system and never receive care. Operation Sight has an entire team to screen these patients and handle all of the patient coordination. This gives me a way to help those who truly need it, and I can refer patients from my office knowing they have another avenue for treatment. This is a very needed program, and it’s an easy experience to work with Operation Sight."
