The Krieger Eye Institute Celebrates 25 Years
The staff members of The Krieger Eye Institute (KEI) are coming together to celebrate the Institute's 25th anniversary with an Eye Health Week event at the end of April. Officially, opening in 1991, the KEI has become a leader in eye care, offering patients expert service at Sinai and Northwest hospitals and the LifeBridge Pavilion at Quarry Lake.
"We are so excited to host the Eye Health Week event because it's our way of creating awareness of the top-notch eye care that's offered to LifeBridge Health employees and their covered family members," says Stefanie Thomas, director, Krieger Eye Institute. "Now employees can choose KEI for their eye health as part of their LifeBridge Health vision benefits and without being charged facility fees."
