On August 1, 2023, the Juvenile Justice Center hosted its first Vision Mobile Clinic (Eyes 2 You) in partnership with Bay Area Community Health (BACH). Through the Vision Mobile Clinic, youth can receive comprehensive eye exams, prescriptions, and glasses.
During the first clinic, ten youth received comprehensive eye exams. Referrals came in from Care Coordination, JJC Medical, Alameda County Probation Department (ACPD), and the Alameda County Library.
The JJC has long needed optometry services and therefore the introduction of this service has brought about much excitement and gratitude. Monthly clinics are booked for September, October, November, and December, with 2024 dates to be decided soon!
