From the Exam Room to Ghana

Isabella Boudreau is a third-year Biology student on the Pre-PA track at the University of New Hampshire. She plans to become a Physician Assistant. At Fox Run Eye Care, she runs pretesting for patients before they see the optometrist for their comprehensive eye exams.

From January 4–11, 2027, she will travel to Ghana with a team of UNH students. The team will support free temporary clinics in underserved rural communities alongside healthcare professionals. This brigade focuses on medical and eye care.

"I hope to carry the lessons I learn in Ghana into my future career and become a provider who understands the diverse experiences, circumstances, and healthcare needs of the patients I serve," said Isabella Boudreau.

Why Fox Run Eye Care Is Giving

"Fox Run Eye Care is happy to support Isabella as she pursues her goals in healthcare. We wish her a meaningful and rewarding experience on her medical mission," said Dr. Amy Catalano Boyer, O.D., founder of Fox Run Eye Care.

Dr. Catalano Boyer served Seacoast patients for 24 years at Fox Run Mall in Newington. She moved the practice to 603 Portsmouth Ave. in Greenland on January 1, 2025. She practices alongside Dr. Susan Gallant-Behan, O.D. The practice will mark two years at its Greenland location in January 2027.

An Open Invitation to Seacoast Eye Doctors

Fox Run Eye Care is reaching out to fellow optometrists and ophthalmologists in the region.

"Eye care professionals know how much clear vision changes a person's life," said Dr. Catalano Boyer. "We hope our colleagues across the Seacoast will join us in supporting a local student who is bringing that care to people who need it."

Every contribution, regardless of size, helps Isabella reach her goal. Half of the $4,000 meets the brigade's fundraising requirement, which supports medical supplies. The other half covers airfare, lodging, immunizations, and visa costs.
