Clinical Care
The clinical mission of the Department of Ophthalmology is to develop and maintain a multifaceted clinical care program that engages all components of health care delivery — providers, health systems, financial entities and social systems — in a concerted and coordinated effort to provide integrated and patient-centered care that delivers value to patients.
