Oregon Lions Sight And Hearing Foundation – Bend Roarmobile Clinic Receives Cambia Health Foundation Support (Photo) - 04/08/26

Bend, OR: The Oregon Lions Sight & Hearing Foundation (OLSHF), in partnership with
Central Oregon Lions Clubs, will offer a Roarmobile Hearing Aid Clinic for 12 pre-
qualified community members on April 10-11.

Thanks to a generous grant from the Cambia Health Foundation, OLSHF will subsidize the
hearing aid fees for this event. Cambia’s Healthy and Connected Aging focused funding is
critical for two reasons: local Lions Clubs can’t cover all the required provider and hearing
aid fees, and the need for hearing aid help in communities outpaces OLSHF’s budget.
Treating hearing loss with hearing aids can slow cognitive decline. Addressing hearing loss
can also build connection, socialization and safety for older adults.

What: The Roarmobile Hearing Assistance Program supplies qualified applicants with
exams and new digital hearing aids. Roar provides hearing exams, fittings, follow up care,
and new digital hearing aids at a discounted, accessible price. Last year OLSHF helped 78
people statewide with exams and hearing aids.

Our on-staff licensed hearing aid specialist facilitates the clinic and coordinates follow up;
he also provides mobile services in parts of Oregon, such as this event, where a local
provider is not available for hearing exams and fittings to addressing crucial gaps in
service.

When: Friday, April 10th and Saturday, April 11th

Where: Newport Avenue Church of Christ, 554 NW Newport Ave., Bend, OR 97701

Cambia Health Foundation is the corporate foundation of Regence BlueCross BlueShield of Oregon, connecting the company’s philanthropic dollars to communities through nonprofit partners. Founded in 2007, the Foundation has funded over $137 million in grants to advance whole-person health.

"Social isolation among older adults has become a public health crisis, and being able to hear and connect with family, friends and communities is vital,” said Peggy Maguire, president of Cambia Health Foundation. “At the Foundation, we're dedicated to advancing whole-person health throughout the lifespan, and we’re honored to support organizations like Oregon Lions Sight & Hearing Foundation as they help older adults age well in their communities.”
