Addressing Vision and Academic Performance in Baltimore Catholic Schools

The Archdiocese of Baltimore has requested to partner with Conexus to help support an important assessment of vision needs of elementary students in the Catholic schools.  The Archdiocese of Baltimore has recently improved health resources for students in their region, and is working to address its students' vision and the direct impact that it has on academic performance.  As part of this project, Conexus will deliver VisioCheck to students in four schools, selected by the Diocese.  Students identified as needing follow-up care will be seen by an eye care professional, and those needing glasses will be provided with corrective eyewear. Conexus is very pleased to have been identified as a contributor for this effort and we look forward to collaborating on collecting and sharing the results and outcomes.
