Welcome to The Heart of America Contact Lens Society!
Message From the President
Mark S. Norris, O.D.,
HOACLS President
Welcome! After over 50 years in existence, the Heart of America Contact Lens and Primary Care Congress has proven itself to be the premier optometric meeting in the Midwest. I'd like to invite you to join us for our 2013 meeting, which will be February 15 through17 at the Sheraton Kansas City Hotel at Crown Center in Kansas City, MO. This convenient Midwest location has allowed our attendees access to one of the best continuing education values available anywhere.
The Heart board is composed of 13 volunteer directors from our five core member states: Kansas, Missouri, Iowa, Nebraska and Oklahoma. We recently expanded our logo to include the words Camaraderie, Education and Innovation, which reflects the strengths of our organization. We invite you to re-connect with your fellow optometrists and make business contacts to help grow your practice, while taking advantage of world class quality education for optometrists and paraoptometrics. Our exhibit hall is the largest in the Midwest, and will provide you an opportunity to browse the latest and greatest in ophthalmic products and technology.
Please join us February 15-17, 2013 for the 52nd annual Heart Congress. I look forward to seeing you in Kansas City. If I or any member of the Board can be of assistance, please feel free to contact us.
Everything’s up to date in Kansas City!!
From the Heart,
Mark S. Norris, O.D.,
