Sixty-three years ago, the Oregon State Elks Association helped establish the first pediatric eye clinic in the United States at OHSU. The Oregon Elks Association has contributed millions of dollars in research and equipment and thousands of volunteer hours toward the prevention and treatment of eye disease.
