A new vision center at Reynoldsburg City Schools is now available to students and their siblings.

 

Nationwide Children’s Hospital will offer offer comprehensive eye exams and help with adjusting and ordering glasses.

 

“We want to make sure our children are as healthy as possible so they can succeed academically,” said Reynoldsburg City Schools Superintendent Dr. Tracy R. Reed. “We are excited to have this partnership with Nationwide Children’s Hospital and reintroduce the community to all the health care services our students and their siblings have access to through the school-based health center.”

 

According to the American Optometric Association (AOA), 1 in 4 students, have a vision problem significant enough to impact learning.

“We know parents face many barriers to getting their children to a vision provider, and students struggle in school if they can’t see,” said Mary Kay Irwin, EdD, senior director, school health services, Nationwide Children’s. “Adding a vision center with Reynoldsburg’s support was our next step to making sure students have access to all different aspects of health care at school.”

Nationwide Children’s Reynoldsburg school-based health center on the Livingston campus has been providing primary care, behavioral health, sports medicine, dental and chronic condition management since 2020.
