Serving the vision needs of those less fortunate around the world...
Upcoming Missions
Our Mission
VOSH Minnesota is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization dedicated to serving the vision needs of people around the world who cannot afford or do not have access to vision care.
We are a volunteer group of optometrists, ophthalmologists, opticians and concerned lay people who travel around the globe to help provide better sight to those less fortunate. Each VOSH mission is a unique and fascinating way to see and learn about another culture. You won’t find a more rewarding way to volunteer your time and talents than by participating in a VOSH mission. We hope you will be inspired to help us “Bring the World into Focus”!
NOTE: South Dakota VOSH is looking for optometrists/ophthalmologists for their upcoming trip to Gomez Palacio for their February 1st-9th, 2025. Please contact us for details. This is a great opportunity as costs are covered by Lion's and their sponsors.
Please visit our calendar for future workshops and events. All are welcome to attend.

A huge thank you to Dr. Stacy Hinkemeyer-Colatrella for being such a fantastic president for VOSH Mn. Dr. Stacy will remain very active in VOSH, and we can’t imagine it without her. She will assist our amazing VOSH Mn Secretary, Dr. Katie Tancabel-Aleckson, with newsletters. Thank you both!
We also thank Dr. Jim Hess who served for many years as VOSH president and past-president. Your wisdom and guidance are so appreciated. Dr. Jim also plans to still be involved with VOSH Mn for which we are so thankful.
Thank you to Dr. Annika Anderson for leading social media for us and to Dr. Shelby May and new board member, DeNell B. who will take over this role. If you have anything you want to have posted, please email Dr. Jensen at jensenbohn@gmail.com. She will make sure it reaches our new social media team.
Please note that we are temporarily not accepting donated glasses (raw stock) due to space constraints. We can accept glasses that have been sorted and verified. We are so sorry for any inconvenience, but we have such an overstock at this time.
