“We understand that vision is a key component of academic achievement and physical fitness,” said Dr. Laura DeFina, President and CEO and Chief Science Officer of The Cooper Institute in a recent interview.

The conversation hosted by Andrea Kirsten-Coleman, Vision Impact Institute Global Communications and Awareness Manager, highlighted the three-year-old collaboration between the two organizations and the relevance of the connection between children’s fitness and vision health.

This discussion is a part of our ongoing commitment to highlight the collective power of organizations with whom we partner. Take a listen.
