For people who are blind or visually impaired, high quality
treatment and rehabilitative therapy is about to be significantly easier to
access. On Thursday, November 1, 2012, at 11:00 am, Mission Health will open the new location of
Mission Low Vision at the Asheville campus of Industries for the Blind, bringing
medical care and community care together in a new, state-of-the-art facility.
This is great news for the estimated 193,000 people in western North Carolina,
eastern Tennessee and western South Carolina experiencing significant vision
loss. And, yes, through adaptive technology many patients can “read” the
newspaper and “watch” TV.
Please join them, along with Asheville’s Mayor Terry Bellamy at a
brief ribbon cutting ceremony and a tour of the new facility. You’ll see the
diagnostics room, the virtual room (essentially a recreation of a home
environment for learning purposes), the training kitchen, the multipurpose
room, the adaptive technologies and much more.
