Fifth Annual Health Career Scholarship
Doctors Linda and Loren Azevedo and Marcus Appy of A to Z Eye Care awarded $500 scholarships to Mc Kinleyville High School’s Brooke Martin and Fortuna High School’s Nochella Ozard for their outstanding achievements. The students were selected to receive the A to Z Eye Care Health Career Scholarship, which was created five years ago to encourage local students to study in a health care profession of their choice. Brooke Martin will attend Humboldt State University to begin her studies in Nursing and Nochella Ozard will attend Berkeley University to begin her studies Biology before enrolling in the UC San Francisco Physical Therapy Graduate Program.
A to Z Eye Care is ecstatic to offer these scholarships to exceptional community students and will continue to do so for many years to come. A to Z Eye Care is a private optometric office located in Sunny Brae. Doctors Azevedo and Appy provide full visual and eye health exams, contact lens and Lasik services and offer a wide selection of glasses in their frame gallery.
Welcome back to Dr. Loren Azevedo and Jen Petullo who spent a week providing free eye exams and glasses to people in Etzatlan, Mexico. Due to the generosity of A to Z Eye Care patients, they were able to bring approximately 900 pairs of donated glasses with them for the project.
Their trip was organized by VOSH, Volunteer Optometric Services to Humanity. They helped provide eye care to nearly 1,000 people in need. Many of the people they served had never had glasses before despite having very high prescriptions. For these people it was life changing to be able to see for the first time. Thank you to everyone whose donations and support made this trip possible.

At its 8th annual Humboldt Heroes Recognition Luncheon on Friday 2/19/2010, the Red Cross honored ordinary people who have committed extraordinary acts of selflessness and courage. Dr. Linda Azevedo was honored for the hours of time she donated performing free eye exams and glasses for local members of the California Conservation Corps.
