SERVICE TO OUR PATIENTS AND COMMUNITY Clarissa Burroughs: Community Outreach Coordinator Clarissa Burroughs and VP for Clinical Administration Liduvina Martinez-Gonzalez The University Eye Center has approximately 70,000 patient visits a year, making it one of the largest eye and vision care clinics in the United States. And because of Burroughs’ dedication, it now has a greater reach, meaning more people benefit from the research, teaching and patient care facility. Her duties put her in contact with students, professors and the public. She coordinates health fairs, public healthrelated events in the lobby and external vision screenings for second-year students at the College. Outside organizations also host events at the UEC; many have come because of relationships formed by Burroughs since she joined SUNY Optometry in 2016. “I bridge the gap to ensure the community is aware of the UEC’s services, both in-house and throughout New York City.” – Clarissa Burroughs 2018 Community Outreach 4,052 Community Screenings, 2018 Adam Clayton Powell Jr. State Office Building Baruch College BASE High School Battery Park School Bethel Holy Church of God Beulah Church of the Nazarene Borough of Manhattan Community College Carnaval del Barrio Children’s Aid Society Community Life Head Start Community Resource Fair Coop City Dreiser Senior Center Department for the Aging Dream Charter School Drew Hamilton Child Learning Center Explore Charter School Fire Department of the City of New York 22 SUNY OPTOMETRY Food Bank for New York City The Graduate Center Health Fair Guttman Community College Hamilton Innovative Senior Center Harlem Asthma Center of Excellence HealthFirst Health & Wellness Expo Henry Street Settlement Hope for All Outreach Christian Center Independence High School Isabella Geriatric NORC Resource Center Jacob Riis Neighborhood Settlement Lafayette Academy LaGuardia Community College Lenox Hill Neighborhood Early Childhood Max Meltzer Senior Center Mexican Consulate Mosholu Montefiore Community Center National Down Syndrome Society New York Center for Child Development New York Police Department Park West High School Penn South Senior Community Center Prince George Hotel and Residence Promise Academy I Promise Academy II PS 2 PS 130 PS 200 PS/MS 138 Ralph Lauren Center for Cancer Prevention Redeem Church of God Reece School River Terrace NORC The Ryan Center School in the Square Senator Hoylman’s Senior Resource Fair Skadden Arps St. Andrew’s Episcopal Church St. Jerome’s Hands St. Luke’s Episcopal Church Store Front Academy University Neighborhood High School Village View Senior Center Weinberg Senior Center West New York Lions Club Williams Institutional Church
