Dr. Susan Oleszewski is the 2023 Looking Out for Kids ‘Lighthouse Award’ Winner at PCO/Salus
According to Susan Oleszewski, OD ‘76, Resident ‘78, MA, FAAO, one has a lot of good ideas in a lifetime. But they don’t always turn out like one would want.
Dr. Oleszewski, known affectionately as “Dr. O” during her four decades of involvement with the Pennsylvania College of Optometry (PCO) at Salus University, had one of those good ideas around 2006 that turned out to be even better than she could have anticipated.
That idea was the “Looking Out for Kids” (LOFK) vision care initiative, which has provided comprehensive vision care services and eyeglasses to children from Philadelphia and its surrounding school districts. Since its first fundraising event in 2007, every dollar raised at the annual charity event has gone directly to providing comprehensive vision care services and eyeglasses to some of the most vulnerable kids in the region.
And, for her longtime dedication to the initiative, Dr. O has been named the 2023 LOFK “Lighthouse Award” winner. She will be presented with the award at the annual event on Nov. 11, 2023.
