Furlong Vision Correction's Gift of Sight Program is Rewarding for Patients and Staff
Furlong Vision Correction is a Jefferson Award winner for the
Gift of Sight Program. Click to watch the CBS segment about the award and program. August is one of the favorite times of the year for the Furlong Vision Correction staff - that's when we all have the opportunity to interact with HOPE Services staff and clients for the annual Gift of Sight program. The Gift of Sight program was started in 2002 to help those who can't afford corrective procedures. This year, we had the opportunity to help 11 patients. Three HOPE Services clients and eight HOPE employees received state-of-the-art, custom Wavefront LASIK or PRK along with pre-op exams and post-op care at no cost to the patient or HOPE Services. "I love this unique program. Seeing the smiles on the faces of these patients is priceless - and seeing the smiles on the faces of our staff is amazing too. It's an incredible feeling to have positively changed the lives of so many really deserving individuals since starting this program. I am truly grateful to be able to donate these services and believe it is just as rewarding for me as it is for those we are helping." -Dr. Michael Furlong- HOPE Services "We have a great partnership with Furlong Vision Correction and have received incredible feedback from past recipients. It is amazing to see how a quick eight-minute surgery can have such a positive impact on the lives of our clients and staff." -Sue Bell, HOPE Services Human Resources Director- Recipients are chosen by a lottery system based on their ability to sustain vision correction.
