| PART III, LINE 1 CONTINUATION | SIGHTS FOR HOPE CARRIES FORWARD A TRADITION INSPIRED BY HELEN KELLER NEARLY A CENTURY AGO. FOUNDED IN 1928, IT IS THE ONLY PRIVATE VISION SERVICE AGENCY IN ITS SERVICE AREA AND IS A MEMBER OF THE PENNSYLVANIA ASSOCIATION FOR THE BLIND. SIGHTS FOR HOPE'S CALL TO ACTION IS THE FACT THAT PEOPLE WITH VISUAL IMPAIRMENTS AND BLINDNESS FACE UNACCEPTABLE DISPARITIES WITH RESPECT TO PERSONAL INDEPENDENCE AND WELLBEING. THESE INEQUALITIES ARE MANIFEST PARTICULARLY BY INCREASED CHALLENGES IN ACCOMPLISHING DAILY LIFE ACTIVITIES; LIMITED ACCESS TO MEDICAL CARE, NUTRITIOUS FOOD, AND OTHER CRITICAL SERVICES; DIFFICULTIES WITH EMOTIONAL HEALTH, INCLUDING DEPRESSION; AND DECREASED POTENTIAL TO LEARN SUCCESSFULLY IN SCHOOL. WHEN SIGHTS FOR HOPE REMOVES KEY BARRIERS TO SELF-SUFFICIENCY FOR PEOPLE WITH VISUAL IMPAIRMENTS, THEN THEY BECOME EMPOWERED TO ACHIEVE A GREATER EQUALITY OF INDEPENDENCE AND QUALITY OF LIFE FOR THEMSELVES. THE THREE PILLARS THAT ARTICULATE SIGHTS FOR HOPE'S WORK AS IDENTIFIED BELOW. 1. SKILLS: SIGHTS FOR HOPE TEACHES PEOPLE WITH VISUAL IMPAIRMENTS THE ADAPTIVE SKILLS TO ACCOMPLISH DAILY LIFE ACTIVITIES. 2. SUPPORTS: SIGHTS FOR HOPE PROVIDES SUPPORTS TO PEOPLE WITH VISUAL IMPAIRMENTS THAT COUNTER THE EFFECTS OF THEIR CIRCUMSTANCES AND INCREASE THEIR ACCESS TO ESSENTIAL SERVICES, INCLUDING MEDICAL CARE AND HEALTHY FOOD. 3. SOLUTIONS: SIGHTS FOR HOPE ADVANCES SOLUTIONS TO PEOPLE WITH VISUAL IMPAIRMENTS THAT ENHANCE THEIR SIGHT CAPABILITIES. SIGHTS FOR HOPE'S CLIENTS AND PATIENTS ARE INDIVIDUALS WHOSE ABILITIES TO CONDUCT DAILY ACTIVITIES ARE IMPEDED BY PERMANENT VISUAL IMPAIRMENTS THAT CANNOT BE CORRECTED WITH GLASSES OR EQUIVALENT SOLUTIONS. SIGHTS FOR HOPE'S CLIENT AND PATIENT SERVICES ARE PROVIDED TO PEOPLE WHO RESIDE IN ITS SERVICE AREA AND HAVE A VISUAL ACUITY OF 20/70 OR WORSE IN THEIR STRONGEST EYE WITH BEST CORRECTION; HAVE A VISUAL FIELD OF 20 DEGREES OR WORSE IN THEIR STRONGEST EYE WITH BEST CORRECTION; HAVE A VISUAL FUNCTION THAT IS EQUIVALENT TO AN ACUITY OF 20/70 OR WORSE IN THEIR STRONGEST EYE WITH BEST CORRECTION; HAVE A DIAGNOSIS OF A DEGENERATIVE EYE CONDITION OR VISION DISORDER; HAVE EXPERIENCED A PROGRESSIVE LOSS OF EYESIGHT DUE TO A DISEASE; OR HAVE OTHER PERMANENT SIGHT-RELATED CONDITION THAT MAKES IT DIFFICULT FOR THEM TO PERFORM THEIR TYPICAL DAILY ACTIVITIES. MORE THAN 80% OF ITS CLIENTS ARE AGES 55 AND UP AND 65% OF ITS CLIENTS ARE AGES 65 AND UP. SIGHTS FOR HOPE'S CLIENT POPULATION HAS GROWN BY MORE THAN 20% FROM JULY 2020 TO JUNE 2023. SIGHTS FOR HOPE'S PREVENTION SERVICES ARE PROVIDED PRIMARILY TO CHILDREN AGES 0-6. THROUGH AN ANALYSIS OF DATA FROM THE U.S. CENSUS BUREAU, THE CENTERS FOR DISEASE CONTROL AND PREVENTION (CDC), AND THE AMERICAN OPTOMETRIC ASSOCIATION (AOA), SIGHTS FOR HOPE HAS DETERMINED THAT THERE ARE AT LEAST 17,164 PEOPLE AGES 0-7 IN ITS SERVICE AREA WHO ARE POTENTIAL CLIENTS AND PATIENTS. THROUGH THE SAME ANALYSIS, SIGHTS FOR HOPE ALSO HAS DETERMINED THAT AT LEAST 8,934 CHILDREN IN ITS SERVICE AREA HAVE A VISUAL IMPAIRMENT THAT KEEPS THEM FROM LEARNING MOST EFFECTIVELY. AND ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON THE NEEDS THAT IT MEETS ARE AVAILABLE AT SIGHTSFORHOPE.ORG/NEEDS. SIGHTS FOR HOPE HAS ESTABLISHED FOUR BIG IMPACT GOALS THAT IT SEEKS TO ACCOMPLISH BETWEEN 2022 AND 2030. THESE GOALS ARE IDENTIFIED IN THE FOLLOWING. 1. TO PROVIDE ASSISTIVE TECHNOLOGY DEVICES TO 2,500 PEOPLE WITH VISUAL IMPAIRMENTS. THESE DEVICES BOOST THEIR ABILITIES TO INTERACT WITH THE PEOPLE AND ENVIRONMENTS AROUND THEM. 2. TO PROVIDE AT LEAST 25,000 GUIDED TRANSPORTS TO PEOPLE WITH VISUAL IMPAIRMENTS. THESE TRANSPORTS INCREASE THEIR ACCESS TO MEDICAL CARE, FOOD, LIFE SKILLS EDUCATION, AND CRITICAL WELLNESS SERVICES. 3. TO PROVIDE LIFE SKILLS EDUCATION TO 2,500 PEOPLE WITH VISUAL IMPAIRMENTS. SIGHTS FOR HOPE'S GROUP AND ONE-ON-ONE LIFE SKILLS EDUCATION PROGRAMS ENHANCE THEIR ABILITIES TO LIVE INDEPENDENTLY. 4. TO ENSURE THAT 2,500 CHILDREN AGES 0-6 RECEIVE EYE EXAMS AND GLASSES OR EQUIVALENT SOLUTIONS. THESE SERVICES WILL ADVANCE THEIR ABILITY TO LEARN EFFECTIVELY WHEN THEY ENTER SCHOOL. EFFORTS TO MEET THIS GOAL WERE BOLSTERED IN 2022-2023 BY THE FORMATION OF PARTNERSHIPS WITH VALLEY HEALTH PARTNERS (VHP). |
