At the start of 2020
we hit the ground running

We were excited to bring the care-focused alternative doctors’ have
been asking for to more practices in more areas across the country.

The world went into quarantine.

We paused on acquisitions.

(Completed 2 pending.)

EVERYONE BINGED TIGER KING.

While acquisitions may have slowed

This was our opportunity to

prove to doctors, patients and staff

Patients needed care
but wanted to feel safe.

Doctors were ready
and willing to help.

Worked to be first out of the

gate with safety protocols

for reopening, based on

CDC recommendations.

Helped facilitate the
production of much needed
Personal Protective Equipment
(PPE) for doctors and staff.

Joined forces to help create a
VSP Taskforce to get Optometry
classified as Essential Care.

REOPENING

for emergency eye care
was top priority

HELPING THOUSANDS

of patients avoid
overcrowded ERs.

Then focus shifted to routine
eye care and adapting to the

“NEW NORMAL”

Since reopenings began, all
of our practices have

STAYED OPEN FOR CARE!

“COVID-19 really clarified for doctors what is important when selecting a partner: one that has stepped up to provide resources and support to their practice during this difficult time, and one that shares their values and invests in their success.”

—Tiffanie Burkhalter,
President of VSP Ventures

the year, we
