Florida Eye Hurricane Dorian Outreach Efforts
Posted by: Florida Eye Microsurgical Institute in Worth Sharing...
In an effort to assist our Bahamian neighbors, still reeling from the disastrous effects of Hurricane Dorian, Florida Eye Microsurgical Institute is collecting supplies at three of our four locations.
