2010 Annual Report - Vision Health International
Celebrating 25 years of restoring the gift of sight. 2 0 1 0 A N N U A L R E P O RT Vision Health International OUR MISSION The mission of VHI is to improve the vision health of medically underserved people in developing countries by providing free-of-charge professional surgical, medical, and educational services at the invitation of the host country. In addition to providing direct patient care, an integral part of our mission is the capacity building of local medical personnel and the transfer of technology to the medical communities of the countries served. Educational activities include directed training of medical personnel in the latest surgical techniques, pre- and post-operative care, specialized oculoplastic instruction, and patient exams. The transfer of technology is accomplished through donations of surplus surgical supplies and equipment to local medical professionals to allow for continuity of care.

LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT DEAR VHI SUPPORTERS Dear Friends, We were with Dr. Abernethy in 1986, our first trip, in Quito, Ecuador. Originally planned for the small rural town of Guaranda, the program was relocated, at the last minute, to the capitol city due to the insistence of the local ophthalmology society. Apparently, they felt a need to keep an eye on our work. Following that inauspicious beginning, we hit one roadblock after another. The conditions at the hospital were challenging, at best. We recall that our volunteer nurses had a positive professional and cultural exchange with their Ecuadorian counterparts, but we weren’t seeing as many patients as Dr. Abernethy had hoped. Though growing frustrated (to put it mildly), he remained committed to bringing our team’s resources to as many patients as possible. He worked late into the night, night after night, “negotiating” with the powers-that-be to ensure the project’s ultimate success. And we did succeed. We’ve had many gratifying experiences and life-changing moments with VHI since that first trip. The example Dr. Rod Abernethy set, through his dedication and his determination to succeed, in spite of the obstacles, became an enduring trait of our organization. We are fortunate to have been able to turn over the “frustrated but effective leader” roles to Cindy Goodale and Sarah Felknor following Rod’s passing. I want to thank VHI’s many participants and supporters for making 2010 another productive year. In spite of economic and social upheaval worldwide, VHI conducted successful mission trips to Mexico, Peru, and Costa Rica, where we were able to restore or improve sight for hundreds of adults and children. It has been my good fortune to be a part of VHI and its good work for the past 20 years. I was drawn to the organization initially by its scope of activity and the dynamic and caring nature of its incredible caregivers. I am pleased to say, even as the organization has grown and changed over the years, VHI has preserved its charm and remains wonderfully unique. After all, the important things haven’t changed; we still help to restore sight “one eye at a time.” I look forward to 2011 and the years ahead, as VHI continues its work to restore and improve eyesight and prevent blindness throughout Latin America. Appreciatively, Randy Rottman, MD President Richard Whitten, MD Medical Director Kay Whitten, RN Director of Nursing VHI CELEBRATES ITS SILVER ANNIVERSARY As is the way with many anniversaries and celebrations of life’s significant mileposts, we tend to reflect less on where we may be going than where it was we’ve been. And that’s the way it should be, for experience is, after all, the best teacher. A Chinese proverb advises that “a journey of a thousand miles must begin with a single step.” As VHI, its participants and its supporters pause to salute 25 years of good work and goodwill we should be reminded where the inspirational idea of restoring the gift of sight came from and where, when and how this organization took its first step. Ophthalmologist Rodney E. Abernethy and his wife, Beth, loved Latin America. So did their children. On numerous occasions the parents took advantage of an opportunity to visit the kids and Latin America in conjunction with summer public health programs conducted by Amigos de las Americas. On one such trip, Dr. Abernethy noted, not surprisingly considering his profession, that not a soul in the Ecuadorian village they were visiting wore eyeglasses, though in his estimation a good many should have been. During the following summer the Abernethy’s went back to Ecuador, this time with duffle bags filled with donated eyeglasses. For the people of Guaranda, Ecuador, who had little, if any, access to vision health care, Dr. Abernethy and his eyeglasses were nothing short of heaven sent. But eyeglasses didn’t solve every vision problem in the rural mountain town. Many Guarandans required more than corrective lenses; they needed cataract surgery. With Scrub Nurse, Daisy Yee, Dr. and Mrs. Abernethy returned once more to Guaranda, this time accompanied by daughter Janet and Cindy Goodale, equipped to perform surgery. It was 1985 and something very special was beginning to take shape. Concluding that more could be accomplished only with more doctors, nurses, supplies and equipment, Dr. Abernethy placed a “want ad” in a national medical publication. He hoped to recruit volunteer ophthalmologists and nurses and anesthesiologists with an interest in restoring sight in Ecuador. Over the next two years on return trips to Ecuador, an intrepid brigade of doctors, nurses, and Peace Corps volunteers endured—with a smile—what Dr. Ron Amalong has described as “a combination of delight, hysteria, frustration, and gratification.” The clinic in Cariamanga was conducted on an outdoor patio, the windows in the operating room had no glass or screens but provided access for a much needed breeze every now and again, not to mention for the squadrons of flies that made themselves perfectly at home on the operating field. Lighting in the OR, when power was available, consisted of one bare bulb, dangling from the ceiling. Throw in primitive roads and flat tires, Spartan accommodations, flights into airports garrisoned by gun-toting teenage soldiers, sometimes inhospitable government officials, the always suspect cuisine and water supply, and you get the picture. “But you know,” recalls Kay Whitten, RN, “we were there for the patients (700 patients were examined and 160 surgeries were performed during two field programs). And the conditions only brought us closer.” For those tireless, gritty and compassionate volunteers back in 1986 and 1987, long days of demanding yet gratifying work did engender a heightened sense of dedication, camaraderie and humor, personified, of course, in Dr. Abernethy. Dr. Rick Whitten recalls a frustrated yet determined Abernethy as he negotiated late into the night, almost every night, with local authorities in Quito over every last detail of the field program, insisting with his dauntless charm that the American volunteers will see as many patients as there were to see. And just as plans were put in place to do it all over again in 1988 this newly formed band of doctors, nurses, and volunteers, committed as each of them were to restoring the gift of sight, suddenly and tragically lost their inspirational leader, the result of a pulmonary embolus. Thankfully, they never lost their inspiration. Determined to carry on her father’s work, Janet Abernethy along with Dr. Amalong laid the groundwork for a field program to San Isisdro del General in the south of Costa Rica, to be conducted over two weeks beginning in late April 1989. Beth Abernethy, always the travel agent, perfected the arrangements. As with the previous three programs, success was exemplified in the statistics: 1,452 patients were examined, 680 pairs of eyeglasses were dispensed, and 183 surgeries were performed, but what really emerged from the trip was something even more significant. That project confirmed for all involved that not only could Dr. Abernethy’s work go on, it must go on. In the Abernethy living room in Hillsborough, California a few months after the San Isidro program had concluded, Beth, Janet, Dr. Amalong, Cindy Goodale, Eileen Lynette, Jo Ann Nussutti, and Dr. Richard Whitten roughed out the future for an organization they would name Vision Health International. All one has to do is look at the work performed and the lives touched from 1985 forward—the close to 19,000 patients who have been examined by ophthalmologists, perhaps for the first time; the nearly 17,000 pairs of eyeglasses that have helped an equal number of people to read or sew again, or go back to work; the almost 5,000 adults and children who had nowhere else to turn for vision care, and for whom surgery has restored not just their vision, but their hopes and their families’ dreams for better days ahead—and you can understand that what Dr. Abernethy began 25 years ago has truly changed the world. He would, we think, be pleased, humbled, but perhaps not too surprised by what he started.
