The CEI Foundation is thrilled to announce the grand opening of our new Optical Center within St. Vincent de Paul on May 1, 2024! This state-of-the-art facility is dedicated to providing top-notch eye care to patients with Medicaid and those meeting Ohio's low-income requirements, ensuring everyone in our community has access to quality vision services. Some key highlights of our new Optical Center include: 🔹 Serving Medicaid and Low-Income Patients: Our Optical Center is designed to cater specifically to Medicaid patients and low-income individuals under Ohio state guidelines, underscoring our commitment to essential health services for underserved populations. 🔹 Medicaid Credentialing: We're currently credentialed with two Medicaid providers and are working towards being credentialed with all Medicaid vision plan providers by the end of Q3 2024. This expansion is crucial for enhancing our service capabilities. 🔹 Unmatched Service: We are proud to be the only facility in Ohio exclusively serving Medicaid recipients, the non-insured, and low-income individuals, which highlights our dedication to inclusivity and community health. 🔹 Positive Impact: Seeing our first customers, who left our center with stylish new glasses, was heartwarming. #CEIFoundation #OpticalCenter #Medicaid #CommunityHealth #VisionForAll #InclusiveHealthcare #GrandOpening #StVincentDePaul #CEIF #vision #eyecare #Cincinnati #CincinnatiNonProfit #nonprofit
