We're excited to highlight PDS Optical's Optician of the Week, Casey Vado.

"Every Veteran I help reminds me of my own family and that makes this work deeply meaningful," said Casey.

Casey Vado is a travel optician, who has worked at VA locations across the country. Casey has great experience and an eye for detail, which helps us identify ways to improve care for Veterans across the different regions she supports.

Yesterday, we had the privilege of dropping off the food and clothing items we collected from last week's PDS Optical and Korrect Optical Holiday Drive.

When you show up to the Robley Rex VA Medical Center with 3 carloads of items Veterans need, you feel great and our team feels connected to a greater purpose.

We are committed to serving Veterans with Pride, Dignity and exceptional Service. 🇺🇸 ❤️ 🫡

Last Thursday we had a mission - help Louisville Veterans in need. The PDS Optical and Korrect Optical teams came together to make a positive impact in the community...and we had FUN doing it. We can't wait to drop off a bunch of food and clothing items at the Robley Rex VA Medical Center (Louisville, KY).

Yesterday, we conducted our PDS Optical holiday food drive, to support Louisville Veterans in need.

Supporting Veterans with Pride, Dignity and Service is at the core of what we do - in business, in the communities we live and work and across the nation in partnership with other Veteran-aligned organizations.

It was a great day and successful effort that we know will make a positive impact leading into the holiday season.

Shout out to Gayle, a PDS employee and proud U.S. Army Veteran, who was on hand to thank people as they dropped items off.

Thank you to WHAS11 News for coming out to cover our event and sharing our story.

Friendly reminder that if you live in the Louisville metro, you can make a positive impact on a local Veteran tomorrow.

You can support local Veterans by dropping off items at two convenient locations between 10a-5p tomorrow.
