NEWPORT BEACH—In just a few short weeks, from June 25 through July 5, the Armenian EyeCare Project (AECP) will embark on its 52nd Medical Mission to Armenia. The Project is urging everyone who is interested to join them on their journey — friends and supporters of the EyeCare Project; writers, photographers and videographers; and, of course, ophthalmologists, optometrists and others in the medical field.
This year’s Medical Mission will include trips to the organization’s Mobile Eye Hospital, which will be stationed in the Vayots Dzor province on June 25 and outside of a nursing home in Yerevan on June 28; the unveiling and grand opening of the Project’s second Regional Eye Clinic, the John and Hasmik Mgrdichian Eye Clinic, in Spitak, Lori on June 27; and a visit to the Project’s first Regional Eye Clinic, the Haig Boyadjian Eye Clinic, in Ijevan, Tavush, which had its grand opening last year, on July 5.
Those who have supported the EyeCare Project, or who wish to learn more about the organization and its various medical programs in Armenia, are invited to join AECP Founder Dr. Roger Ohanesian and the rest of the team on one or all of the Project’s activities — either by booking a trip to the country or joining the activities if already in Armenia at this time.
“This is an opportunity for people to really see where their donations to the AECP have gone and how the Project has changed the landscape of ophthalmology in Armenia with a powerful and life-changing program,â€
