Message From the President
Ellen L. Weiss, O.D.,
HOACLS President
Welcome! Having celebrated our 50th year, 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 2012 show, which will be February 17 to 19 at the Hyatt Regency Crown Center in Kansas City, MO. This convenient Midwest location allows attendees one of the best continuing education values available anywhere.
The Heart board is composed of 12 volunteer directors from our five member states of Kansas, Missouri, Iowa, Nebraska and Oklahoma. We recently expanded our logo to include the words Camaraderie, Education and Innovation, which reflect the strengths of our organization. We invite you to enjoy the opportunity to interact with your fellow optometrists and make business contacts to help grow your practice, while taking advantage of top notch quality education for optometrists and paraoptometrics. Our exhibit hall is the largest in the Midwest, providing you the opportunity to browse the newest in ophthalmic products and technology to improve patient care.
Please join us February 17-19, 2012 for the 51st 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.
From the Heart,
Ellen L. Weiss, O.D.,
