I share this photo with our members for many reasons. As a past president of the Pennsylvania Optometric Association, I wanted to point out an advocacy meeting for optometry that occurred while most of our members were seeing patients on March 27, 2013. Drs. Paul Lobby (left) and Greg Caldwell (right), volunteers for POA’s Third Party Center, met Dr. Paul Kaplan (middle), the vice president of strategy and integration of PCMH and ACO for Highmark Blue Cross Blue Shield.
