Dr. Richard T. Hawley
Born and raised in the Harrisburg area, Rick remembers his first trip to Mechanicsburg to attend Jubilee Day in the late 1960's. He has enjoyed many Jubilee Days since then, including the most recent one when he was able to share the time-honored Mechanicsburg tradition with his stepson Nick.
Rick became interested in optometry in the early ‘70’s when he became one of the first wearers of soft contact lenses. He is happy to help provide the blessing of good vision to his patients, both in the U.S. and in Latin America.
Over the past twelve years Rick has provided eye care to thousands of patients on nine mission trips to Guatemala and one mission trip to Cuba. These trips are through an organization called VOSH – Volunteer Optometric Services to Humanity of Pennsylvania ( www.voshpa.org ).
Rick, his wife and sons reside in Camp Hill and enjoy movies, cycling and walking.
