Dr. Pownell doesn't just take great care of her patients, she also volunteers as a board member for My Happy Place - Watertown. Check out the story here! 💜🩵

My Happy Place is blessed to have a compassionate and hard working board to help lead our non-profit in making healing spaces for individuals facing serious health diagnoses.

Meet Jill Pownell! She was the founding Director of the My Happy Place - Watertown affiliate and now serves as our Vice President!

Here's some fun facts about Jill:

FAMILY: married to Chris with two daughters, Nora & Evelyn
WORK: Optometrist - co-owner at Watertown Family Eyecare
HOBBIES/INTERESTS: Spending time chasing my girls around to their activities! I spend my time watching softball and basketball games. I love going camping and spending time on the lake.
WHEN and WHY did you join MHP: Our family moved back to the Watertown area in 2017 after living in Mason City, IA. I initially brought the idea of MHP to a group of friends and they loved the idea of becoming an affiliate. I loved watching makeover shows and to bring a place of joy and healing to someone who is hurting is the best feeling.
FAVORITE MEMORY from past makeovers: There are too many great memories to list. My favorite part of each makeover is on Reveal Day. To see the recipient see their new space for the first time is so rewarding! It makes all the hard work worth it and makes me happy to give back.

We are always looking for designers and helpers to execute space makeovers. If you are interested in volunteering, please message us on Facebook or email us at myhappyplacewtn@gmail.com.

We’re always looking for ways to serve our patients better—not just with expert eye care, but with truly memorable experiences. This morning, we had the opportunity to attend a workshop inspired by the book Unreasonable Hospitality by Will Guidara, and it left us inspired and energized!

This powerful message reminded us that exceptional service is about thoughtful, intentional moments that make people feel truly seen and valued.

From the moment you walk through our doors to the time you pick up your glasses, we’re rethinking every step of the patient journey to make sure it feels more personal, more welcoming, and more... us.

Thank you for trusting us with your care. We’re excited to keep raising the bar—not just for eye care, but for how it feels to be a part of the Watertown Family Eyecare family. ❤️

**A special thanks to Visit Watertown and the Watertown Area Community Foundation for putting on this great workshop!**
