Putnam County Cancer Assistance Program won best commercial of the week! During Kathi’s commercial, we learned that CAP provides a portion of money to help cover wig costs and that Loving Laura's Curls accepts donated wigs to help those undergoing cancer treatments.

We are actively looking to add a mortgage lender, marketing pro, physical therapist, and an attorney. Share this post with someone you know that is looking to grow their business and be with a supportive group!

This week, our Ottawa Fraternal Chapter was honored to donate $1,000 through our Matching Funds Program to support the Putnam County Cancer Assistance Program.

A special thank you to Denny Marsh of Bad Dog Fit Club for hosting a 5K at the Car-E-It. The event raised more than $6,000, and we were proud to match those efforts with a $1,000 contribution.

The Putnam County Cancer Assistance Program provides valuable support to local residents undergoing cancer treatment. The program helps reimburse patients for mileage to treatments, tests, and doctor appointments related to their diagnosis, as well as out-of-pocket medication expenses.

We are grateful for the opportunity to support an organization that makes such a meaningful difference in the lives of Putnam County families.

As a new school year begins, the Ohio Governor and Lt. Gov issued this Proclamation to declare August 2026 as "Children's Vision and Learning Month."

'''Whereas, traditional eye exams will not diagnose the problems ...

Beginning my 41st year of behavioral, functional optometric vision care, I continue to be dedicated to diagnose the neurological and physiological deficits which undergird the problems which the struggling child experiences. I do not traumatize the youngster and I will not put drops in their eyes which blurs their vision and paralyzes their oculomotor functions.

I do not "cut corners" but will take the time to diagnose and discuss the therapeutic care which I offer: simple lenses, maybe bifocals (yes, for kids!) and / or prisms. Often, children advance significantly with rehabilitative remedation and care to actively normalize their deficits.

Our practice is time-honored to provide efficacious therapeutic treatment modalities. My staff (Mariah and Tara) and I are well aware: "Where there is Good Vision, the Kids Sit Still" by "Helping the Struggling Child, one-at-a-time, to Achieve Successes at home, in the classroom, in the athletic realm and in life."

"Helping the child, who is sometimes unruly, to focus, attend and sit still without (or tapering-off) the pharmaceutical intervention."

Intelligent individuals can (and often) have faulty control of their eyes and other visual disorders. Not every individual who has two eyes see one. Overwhelmingly, the children who are placed on the behavioral and psychotic pharmaceuticals simultaneously have (never previously detected nor diagnosed) double vision and / or other visuo-motor and visuo-sensory dysfunctions.

Please do not hesitate to seek a second opinion with us to assist the transformation of your wiggly child to achieve (previously unimaginable) successes with little-known (and rarely offered) behavioral and functional optometric care.

One of the biggest advantages of working with an independent insurance agency is choice.🤝

Rather than being limited to a single carrier, Steiner & Granger can compare options from multiple insurance companies to help find competitive pricing and coverage that fits your needs.

That's the benefit of having someone shop the market for you.

See how having options can make a difference in what you pay, give us a call today.
