Wagner Kapoor Institute

We’re excited to introduce the newest addition to the Wagner Kapoor Institute team, Ashley Ford! Ashley has joined us as our new Practice Liaison. In this role, she will focus on building and strengthening relationships with our referring partners, as well as educating practices about the world-class care and services offered by our institute. She brings a wealth of knowledge and experience, having earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Biology with a minor in Communications from the University of Colorado. Recently relocating from Aurora, Colorado, with her family, we're thrilled to have her on board! Please join us in giving Ashley a warm welcome to the team!

Wagner Kapoor Institute has 200+ community partners, and it’s still not enough. We’re here to serve the community as widely as we possibly can, which is why we have so many partners to aid us in this outreach. Still, very few people want to open up an eye care institute in the “worst part of town.” So it’s critical that we keep finding new community partners to help us reach the care deserts, where we can do the most good for people. That’s why, most weekends, our Sight Forever team heads out to local health fairs, churches, community centers, or senior living facilities to perform free vision screenings for sight-destroying diseases, such as glaucoma, age-related macular degeneration, and diabetic retinopathy. We want to reach the people whose conditions make it difficult or impossible for them to access eye care on their own. If they can’t see, they can’t get transportation to a fancy office in the city…which is why we have 10 smaller locations (4 are ours, and 6 are built with community partners), rather than one urban mausoleum. Our goal as healthcare providers is to serve as many communities as possible. By nourishing our existing community partnerships and constantly seeking out new ones, we’re making that happen.
