UCLA Mobile Eye Clinic (UMEC) is a community outreach program of the UCLA Stein Eye Institute. UMEC and its staff of ophthalmologists, ophthalmology residents, technicians, and volunteers make visits to hundreds of Southern California community locations annually to deliver free vision care to medically underserved communities.
In our classrooms:
UCLA screens Head Start children at the beginning of the school year, and return to rescreen any children that did not pass the first screening. Ophthalmologists then perform a complete eye examination on children that did not pass the initial two screenings, to rule out the need for further treatment of any eye condition or disease. All services, including eyeglasses, are provided free of charge.
Claris Health is a community-based, non-profit organization that offers medical, mental health and support services to pregnant women and families with children under the age of five.
The Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) has been improving pregnancies and preparing kids to learn for 40 years. This program provides nutrition counseling, parenting advice, breastfeeding support, food assistance, and referrals to help you and your family live a healthy live.
