Dr Ana Juricic - Because of BALANCE

​​​​​Because of BALANCE, many of my patients have gained access to invaluable resources, including high-tech training, mental health support, mobility training and the apprenticeship programs. These offerings, along with a wide range of services specifically designed for visually impaired and blind individuals, have been transformative in enhancing their independence, quality of life and opening doors to new opportunities.

The core values at BALANCE—inclusivity, independence, trust, respect, and empathy—deeply resonate with my own principles, guiding me in providing advanced vision solutions that often go beyond the traditional. These shared values enrich not just my professional practice but also the lives of those we serve.

I’m a passionate advocate and proud supporter of Balance’s extraordinary work. Earlier this year, I had the great honour of being invited by Deborah Gold, the dedicated CEO of BALANCE, to join their Board of Directors. Accepting this role felt like a natural extension of my commitment to assist individuals living with vision loss and blindness.

Because of BALANCE, individuals with vision loss receive critical services and resources that truly make a difference. I invite you to join me in supporting their vital work by donating to the "Because of BALANCE" campaign. Every contribution is immensely appreciated as Balance for Blind Adults celebrates its 40th year!
