Salus/Drexel Partners with Bestwork Industries for Low Vision Services Clinic
Growing up in South Jersey, Emily Vasile, MAT, TVI, MS ‘16, CLVT, VRT '23 was one of those people who needed low vision services and had to cross the river into the greater Philadelphia area to go to the William Feinbloom Vision Rehabilitation Center housed at The Eye Institute for the help they needed.
A generation later, those who need low vision services in South Jersey won’t have to travel so far.
Salus at Drexel University and Bestwork Industries for the Blind, Inc. in Cherry Hill, New Jersey, have partnered to open a clinic to serve those in need of blindness and low vision services.
A signing ceremony was held Jan. 13, 2025, at the Elkins Park, Pennsylvania, campus of Salus/Drexel to officially move the project forward. And, Vasile, an assistant professor in the Blindness and Low Vision Studies, Division of Global, Interprofessional and Specialized Programming at Salus/Drexel, will be the University’s point person to help Bestwork establish the clinic. They will have an office at the Cherry Hill facility and will be on site one day a week.
