Caring for Our Community
Providing service to diverse communities
is one of our institution’s core values and it is
something that we take very seriously.
The UEC
has steadily increased the number of screenings
and outreach programs that it engages in each
year
,
allowing our doctors and students to see
thousands of often underserved and homebound
patients—at no cost to them—who might not
otherwise have the access or means to receive
high-quality eye and vision care.
Last year the UEC made more than 200 visits to
homebound patients, provided vision screenings to
over 3,600 people and had over 1,100 participants
at various educational lectures and community events.
