The staff 'brought it' today with their spectacular costumes and eleven - yes, eleven! - entries in our inaugural pumpkin 'carving' contest. We're closing at 5pm tonight so they can trick or treat and show off their dazzling duds! 🎃🕸👻

Celebrating 40 Years of Excellence: Happy Anniversary, Dr. DeAnn Fitzgerald!

Today, we honor a remarkable milestone in the career of an extraordinary optometrist and leader. Dr. DeAnn Fitzgerald, O.D., marks 40 incredible years since her graduation from Pacific University School of Optometry in 1984.

Dr. Fitzgerald’s journey has been nothing short of exceptional. From her early days at Pearle Vision to founding her own practices, she has dedicated her career to revolutionizing vision care. Her work with Cedar Rapids Vision in Motion and Spanda Inc. has made her a beacon of innovation in neuro-optometric rehabilitation, sports vision, and concussion management, transforming countless lives in Cedar Rapids and beyond.

Under Dr. Fitzgerald’s guidance, Cedar Rapids Vision in Motion and Active Evolution has become a sanctuary for those needing comprehensive visual rehabilitation. Her pioneering efforts in sports vision and concussion management have had a significant impact both locally and nationally.

Dr. Fitzgerald’s influence extends globally through Spanda Inc. Her mission, Eye Care Kenya, has brought essential eye care and medical services to impoverished communities, exemplifying her commitment to improving lives worldwide.

We are fortunate to have witnessed her dedication firsthand. Many of us have had the privilege of working alongside Dr. Fitzgerald for 10, 15, or even 20+ years. Her leadership, compassion, and expertise have inspired us every day.

Dr. Fitzgerald, thank you for your tireless efforts, boundless energy, and unwavering commitment to excellence. Your contributions to optometry and the lives you’ve touched are truly remarkable. Here’s to celebrating not only your 40 years of achievement but also the many more years of making a difference that lie ahead.

Please join us in congratulating Dr. Fitzgerald on this momentous occasion! Share your well wishes and stories of how her work has impacted your life.

Cheers to you, Dr. Fitzgerald! Your legacy of care and innovation continues to shine brightly.
