Our awesome Mount Vernon staff had such a wonderful time at the Skagit County Senior Day at the Park in Burlington!

They enjoyed meeting community members, answering questions, and sharing helpful information about common eye conditions that can affect us as we age, like cataracts, glaucoma, macular degeneration, and dry eye. Events like these are such a great opportunity to connect, raise awareness, and remind everyone that healthy vision is an important part of healthy aging.

We’re grateful to be part of such a vibrant community and look forward to continuing to support lifelong eye health here in Skagit County!
