Meet Camryn, Mental Health Supportive Housing Advocate at Oswego County Opportunities, Inc.

"I love working for OCO because I love the freedom and fulfillment it provides. I’m not stuck behind a counter or stuck behind a desk all day. Every day is a little different and I set my own pace. I go into work and I know I’m not spending my time just helping some corporation make millions; I am really doing something that makes a difference. I really never dread going to work. The people I work with make it even better---you can really be yourself here and genuinely have fun. OCO attracts good people that honestly have done so much for me without expecting anything in return. Oh---and the PTO time doesn’t hurt!

I like working in Behavioral Health specifically. Sometimes staff might be the only support a client has in their life; that is a big responsibility, but also a blessing. I love helping to defeat misconceptions about our Behavioral Health population and seeing a client’s personality shine with a little bit of help. I wish everyone could spend as much time in Behavioral Health as I have and see that just because someone has a certain diagnosis, that does not mean they’re scary or dangerous. They laugh, cry, have favorite foods and favorite songs just like everyone else. It is really inspiring to see many Behavioral Health clients remain kind-hearted with some of the cards they have been dealt in life. I know that working for OCO has made me more grateful in my own life and realize what I take for granted every day."

Sharing an OCO Success Story: A Brand New Outlook

A young man from Guatemala came to work on the same farm every summer. He had health insurance, but he did not know how to use it, which doctor to call, or how to speak English. That's when he met with OCO's In-Person Assistor & Navigator (IPAN) Program for help.

He had an eye condition called pterygium, or eye shields, where skin grew around the eye to protect it from wind and dirt. He wanted his eyes looked at and felt he needed glasses. IPAN helped him make an appointment at Visionworks.

At the visit, the doctor said the eye shields were common, normal, and not bad. She prescribed him glasses. The worker learned that he had failed a driver's license eye test in Guatemala, but he would now be able to pass it with his new glasses.

On the drive home, he shared that a doctor in Guatemala had told him he could go blind or die without treatment, which was about $2,000. He did not have the money and had been horribly worried. He was happy to learn he was not going blind, his vision could be fixed with glasses, and the condition was not as serious as he thought.

He thanked the worker for visiting and said having insurance was totally useless if you did not know how to use it. He was grateful that the program existed to help.

To find out more about IPAN and how they can help you navigate health insurance, call 315-342-0888, option 8 or go to https://www.oco.org/services/health/health-insurance-assistance-ipan/
