PROCLAMATIONDESIGNATING DECEMBER 2003 AS JOEYBERGSMA <br />RETINOBLASTOMA A WARENESS MONTH <br />Commissioner Ginn read the proclamation and presented it to Pamela Bergsma. <br />Pamela Bergsma thanked the Board on behalf of her grandson, Joey, and stated that she <br />wanted to hand out information that would have saved Joey's life had they been aware of it at the <br />time. She pointed out that everyone should be alert to photographs that have white reflections in the <br />eyes, especially in dimly lit rooms when the retina is exposed. The retina should reflect a red light <br />in the photograph. All eye care health professionals should be using opthalmoscopes to do an infant <br />eye screening for this deadly disease. A dilated eye exam during the first half year of life for all <br />infants could save vision and lives for many of these infants. She asked everyone to please let the <br />Legislature know that you want them to support a bill for infant eye screening. <br />7. CONSENT AGENDA <br />7.A.
