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.
