Love what you do and use it to help others = GOALS

There are three things Dr. Lauren Rubin's patients at Shady Grove Eye and Vision Care immediately notice; her bright smile, contagious laugh, and her LOVE of optometry. Through a Charity Connect connection, Dr. Rubin donates her time to Mercy Health Clinic, a nonprofit providing free high-quality health care, health education, and medications to low-income adult residents in Montgomery County. Dr. Rubin enjoys the opportunity to practice her Spanish language skills and appreciates that Mercy Health provides an interpreter to be sure nothing is lost in translation. Dr. Rubin's ability to screen patients for diabetic retinopathy, a condition that can lead to blindness if not treated, is vital to ensuring their vision health. Being able to use her skills (professional and language) to make an impact in her community and to serve at a time and location that fits into her work and family life, makes this a "right fit" volunteer opportunity for Dr. Rubin.
