Happenings at BVRS Heartfelt Note of Thanks This note was was sent to our vision screeners from the parents of a 1yr old who was screened in September. The parents said "Thank you for this wonderful service that you provide - we are very appreciative. We were able to get an appointment at Children's and it was a great experience. Thank You again! They let us know that their daughter was more far-sighted in one of her eyes and the doctor would be watching to see if she will r...equire glasses in the spring. They would never have known she had a problem at such a young age without our free program to screen at her daycare! This young child was 1 of 500 children that were screened through our program in September. This note highlights the importance of our screenings, if you would like more information or know of a daycare or preschool that could benefit from our program contact Wathina at 412.368.4400 x2213 or [email protected] ID: Image of a woman in a green shirt standing on the left holding a device and a woman in blue and small child sitting on the right See more

Today and every day: Thank you Veterans for your service to our country. We are especially proud of the Veterans of our BVRS family -- Wathina Lewkowicz and Anthony Durnell -- We salute you.

Meet Kristen Durnell Low Vision Office Manager At BVRS you can often find me on the phone scheduling and helping patients get ready for their low vision appointments, then on the computer updating the electronic medical records and working with billing and referrals. Getting the patients checked in and out and keeping communication with them after they leave our doors keeps me busy.... What is your favorite part of your job: I love getting to know the clients that come through our door. Some of them have such an amazing story of the progress that they have made through the Low Vision department. What have you been doing during the pandemic: During the shutdown, I was able to do some work from home. I also loved spending time with my three kids, dog and husband. What is a fun activity you do when you are not at work: I love the water! Swimming, fishing, kayaking and my new favorite...white water rafting.
