A partnership with the Lighthouse Foundation will allow the clinic to provide eye exams and test for conditions, such as glaucoma. Patients will now also be referred to local vision specialists for glasses fittings.

Good Shepherd currently provides care that include gynecology, surgical consultations and ear, nose and throat exams.
