Gratitude to All Those Coming Together 

 

In the wake of Hurricane Ian’s destruction, relief efforts will be immense. We are pleased to report that all our faculty and staff members at the Bascom Palmer Eye Institute in Naples are accounted for and safe. Bascom Palmer Eye Institute in Naples reopened yesterday and is caring for patients. As a University, we are waiting to hear from the State of Florida to determine how we can best participate in the relief effort. Fueled by a mission of service, we are determined to help our communities get through this together.
