Santa Cruz & Beyond

Care for Our Community

Midtown donates 5% of profits annually to Rainforest Trust and supports Santa Cruz through beach cleanups, local free clinics, and volunteer eye-care trips.

Taking care of Santa Cruz includes the places and people beyond our exam rooms. We donate 5% of profits annually to Rainforest Trust. We also take part in local cleanups and volunteer in community eye-care clinics.

Our coast, our responsibility

Our team’s beach cleanups are a way to care for the coastline we enjoy with our families. Past events include Twin Lakes Beach and the San Lorenzo River. We pick up litter, spend time together outdoors, and help protect the spaces that make this community home.

Five percent for Rainforest Trust

We donate 5% of profits annually to Rainforest Trust. Rainforest Trust works with local partners and communities to protect threatened habitats, safeguard wildlife, and conserve tropical forests. Read about Rainforest Trust and why we support its work.

Eye care that reaches further

Dr. Craig Fellers has participated in two VOSH service trips and volunteered at multiple local free clinics. These efforts have included eye examinations, glasses, and attention to eye-health concerns for people who face barriers to care.

Our archive records community health fairs, donations, and a free clinic day hosted at Midtown. These stories document past volunteer events. Contact us for current appointment options. Read about a local clinic or our 2022 free clinic day.

What makes Midtown feel like Midtown

Time for questions. Familiar faces. A thoughtful conversation about your eyes and your options. Our doctors and optical team aim to make care understandable and help you choose eyewear that feels like you.

Our opticians bring experience in frame selection, fit, lenses, and coatings. We care for children and adults, coordinate medical eye care, and keep showing up for our community.
