VISION FOR A HEALTHY FUTURE CONTINUES... The Cooper Institute is excited to continue raising awareness about the importance of healthy vision through a grant provided by The Rosewood Foundation. In honor of the late Caroline Rose Hunt, The Cooper Institute and the Vision Impact Institute, supported by Essilor, will continue to share her passion for better vision as part of our FitnessGram health and wellness program.
“A child needs many tools to succeed in school and good vision is one of them. We are pleased to support the ‘whole child’ approach of The Cooper Institute’s FitnessGram program which assesses the level of fitness needed to succeed in school and build healthy habits for the entire family.”

Orville C. Rogers
USATF World Record Runner (1917-2019)
IN MEMORIAM:
ORVILLE ROGERS INSPIRATION COMES IN MANY FORMS. Orville Rogers found his inspiration 50 years ago reading Aerobics by Dr. Cooper and never looked back. This WWII veteran and commercial airline pilot took up running to see if exercise could really keep him healthy and strong. He went on to break over 18 world records in track after the age of 90 and run over 43,000 miles in his life. Even at the age of 101, our beloved Well.Hero. recipient and Meyer Society member never lost his inspiration to stay physically active.
He will be dearly missed, but his spirit and determination will live well into the future.
