Last month, Louis J. Catania, OD, FAAO, DSc took the stage as the keynote speaker at Salus University’s 118th Commencement. Dr. Catania is an internationally acclaimed clinical educator, author, and expert in anterior segment disease and eye care techniques.
Dr. Catania spoke passionately to the graduates about being a primary health care provider. He also advised the University’s newest alumni to work hard on four characteristics to ensure success, which included being caring, finding your own passion, finding and being a role model, and being able to reinvent his/herself.
Prior to his address, Dr. Catania was presented with an Honorary Doctor of Science degree, the highest degree awarded by Salus, in recognition of his many years of outstanding contributions to optometry as well as global population health, higher education and healthcare integration and engagement.
