Our FPC Eden Medical MissionMay 29 – June 8, 2013 (K-12 - 650 Eden students)

TRIAGE CENTER: We treated 3500 patients – Everyone coming to Eden was questioned carefully – “Why are you here?” then sent to

caregivers - we had translators fluent in Spanish!

Everyone had BP/Wt/Ht taken and were then asked about their medical concern(s). Patients were then rapidly sent to their proper caregivers.

Many people wanted/needed glasses!

Outside and inside the vision clinic people waited. Inside, they were checked with an eye chart and auto- refractor – then they waited to be fitted…at 4 fitting tables! The auto-refractor sped up the process very nicely and was a GREAT HELP!

Finding the perfect glasses!Dyvonne is a marine! She was a great fitter – her Spanish combined with that of her interpreter made for perfect communication!

Charles was our lead fitter. We had 4 fitters total and all were excellent. We fitted 1081 people with prescription glasses in 6 days.

We gave out over 3000 pair of glasses counting reading and sun glasses

We had over 7000 pair of glasses to choose from – picking out the right glasses was critical.

The Eden mission church was dedicated totally to our vision clinic. Glasses were along every wall.

FPC donated Eden’s computer lab in 2008

(It was busy almost constantly with K-12 students)

Eden has grown! The colosium, computer lab and clinic are new.
