TL;DR

Ivanti's VTO program enabled an employee to join medical missions providing cataract surgeries to underserved populations in Tanzania where one ophthalmologist serves millions of citizens.
The volunteer role encompasses equipment setup, patient flow management, and photography documentation to support the John Moran Eye Center's fundraising and media efforts.
Post-operative moments reveal the life-changing impact as patients blind for decades see themselves, their grown children, and grandchildren for the first time.

Summary

Brian McCoy shares his experience using Ivanti's Volunteer Time Off (VTO) program to support medical missions with the John Moran Eye Center global outreach team in Tanzania. The initiative began with 20 employees at Ivanti's South Jordan office packing supplies for cataract surgeries serving 150 Tanzanian citizens. McCoy describes the profound healthcare disparity in underdeveloped countries where one ophthalmologist may serve millions of people, with only the wealthy typically having access to eye care. His role on the mission includes setting up medical equipment, managing patient flow, and documenting the team's work through photography for media and fundraising purposes. The most impactful moments come during post-operative care when patients, some blind for decades, see for the first time—often crying, touching objects, or dancing with joy. McCoy emphasizes how the outreach division works alongside local medical professionals to create sustainable eye care systems. He connects this volunteer work to Ivanti's core value of 'fighting the good fight,' noting that having separate VTO and PTO pools allows him to dedicate time specifically to clinic work while using personal time for travel.
