VSP Mobile Van Visits Yuba City and Willows

The VSP Mobile Van made stops in Yuba City (8 Aug) and Willows (9 Aug) Dr Dave Bradley and Dr. Michael Ferretti spearheaded the Yuba City event and Dr Tim Robertson teamed with Marci Torres of the Glenn County Health Center, and Ciara Anderson with the Willows event. Kim Rankin is in charge of the VSP Mobile Van. Their are only two vans in the United States. One based east of the Mississippi river, the other west in Sacramento. Working with VSP, the mobile van provides two fully equipped exam rooms plus single vision or bifocal glasses free of charge. The doctor donates his time for the exams. Patients are selected on the basis of having no insurance, and having little or no income to afford glasses.
A total of 37 patients were provided exams and glasses. Some were referred for further medical consultation at no charge with Dr Jerry Nieswonger, MD.

This is the second time in 2008 the van has visited this area. In January patients were seen in Yuba City and in Chico.
