Megan Hayden, CVRT, COMS
I've been working with The Sight Center of Northwest Ohio for 13 years. For the past 8 of those years, I've been working with people who live in Central Ohio, expanding The Sight Center's scope to assist people with vision loss from just Northwest Ohio to include 12 counties in central Ohio. I conduct evaluations and then provide training to help people in the areas of Low Vision, Orientation and Mobility, and Adaptive Daily Living Skills. These trainings take place in people's homes, places of work and in their communities. I've enjoyed working with a wide range of people from different backgrounds, ages, abilities, and types of vision loss. It has been such a privilege to work for The Sight Center because this organization cares so much about its mission: to empower independence and enrich the lives of people who are blind or visually impaired. I appreciate all that Accessible Pharmacy is doing to support this same mission.
