MISSION STATEMENT
To screen, treat, save, and restore sight and hearing, in partnership with Lions Clubs.

HISTORY
Since 1959, the Oregon Lions Sight & Hearing Foundation (OLSHF) has taken an active role in protecting the health of Oregonians. Through direct service programs related to sight, hearing and health assistance, the Foundation has transformed the lives of hundreds of thousands of youths and adults in our state. We offer consistent access and critical health solutions to the most vulnerable members of our community who are uninsured or under insured.

We believe it is crucial to reach out to under-served populations, particularly where geography, language or cultural barriers may present challenges to accessing preventative care and appropriate follow up.
