Access to high-quality ophthalmic care just got easier in Kalamazoo, Mich. Grand Rapids Ophthalmology (GRO) has opened its 12th location, expanding retina, glaucoma and comprehensive ophthalmology services for patients and referring providers across the area. The GRO Kalamazoo team brings together an outstanding group of clinicians, including retina surgeon Hollister Swanson, MD, Joe Morehouse, D.O., a comprehensive ophthalmologist, and Priyanka Parekh, M.D., who specializes in comprehensive ophthalmology and glaucoma. According to referring physicians, ophthalmologist access in this area was limited, with some patients waiting six months for a cataract evaluation or traveling more than 50 miles for an appointment. This new location allows patients to receive care sooner and closer to home. This location continues to grow and will soon add two optometrists to continue to elevate eye care for this region. #ElevateEyeCare #VisionaryCare #VisionaryCareers #Kalamazoo #Retina #Glaucoma #ComprehensiveOphthalmology #Ophthalmology

This episode exemplifies the spirit of clinical innovation and collaboration that defines the EyeCare Partners network.

November is #DiabetesAwarenessMonth. For millions of patients with diabetes, changes in the eye can care be among the earlier signs of systemic disease.

The eye offers one of the clearest windows into systemic health. In a recent Channel 3 News segment, Emilio Justo, M.D., Medical Director - Arizona Eye Institute & Cosmetic Laser Center, an EyeCare Partners practice, discussed how a dilated eye exam can reveal early signs of systemic disease, such as diabetes, hypertension and autoimmune conditions, often before symptoms appear. By recognizing subtle retinal changes, from vascular irregularities to inflammation, we can detect underlying issues that extend far beyond vision. This reinforces the essential role of eye care professionals in preventive medicine and whole-patient wellness. As Dr. Justo notes, our work does more than protect sight; it safeguards health. https://lnkd.in/gGTkbyPj #ElevateEyeCare #VisionaryCare #VisionaryCareers
