We are pleased to announce that Duke University Health System now has a full supply of 3,000 pairs of Keene Reading Glasses to assist the vision of their patients and family members.


Margaret and I had a wonderful ☺️ visit to the BENNIOFF CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL πŸ₯ in San Francisco today. We met with Jennifer Satake, Amy Venenciano, Veronica Rodriguez, Britt Merchant and saw the beautiful Xmas decorations many bears and penguins 🐧 adorned with KEENE Reading Glasses.. We will order 3000 additional pairs of glasses for UCSF and include some with strength of 3.0 and above.. We value our relationship of 3 years with UCSF and look forward to continuing on our path of service for those who need help seeing πŸ‘€ well..

Margaret and I had a very productive Zoom call with Margarita De La Fuente of the DUKE UNIVERSITY HEALTH SYSTEM...on the call also Kim Lane, a great friend and supporter of KEENE READING GLASSES, and my niece Brittany Keene DNP, and a graduate of Duke Nursing. We discussed best ways to maximize the 3000 pairs of glasses that Duke has received..the glasses will be offered at 3 Hospitals and ambulatory centers. Flyers and posters will be advertising the availability of the glasses throughout the Hospitals. Nothing shows the value of LinkedIn more than the story of how Duke found us..Nurse Lisa Gilmore, while working with patients learning how to self inject πŸ’‰ medication, thought that it would be great if Duke could purchase Reading Glasses for these patients..in her research she found KEENE READING GLASSES On LinkedIn and very quickly we agreed to support this need...and now Keene Glasses are available to Duke’s patients and family members.


Great news! Linda and Dennis Stillwell met with George Papadimitriou, Director of the West Palm Beach Community Health Center yesterday. Linda, who is on the Board of the Poinciana Chapel in Palm Beach, introduced me to George. As a result, the Keene Reading Glasses Program donated 3000 pairs of glasses to the WPB Community Health Center. We are thrilled that their patients and family members will benefit from this aid to eyesight. #communityhealth #donation #eyesightaid

Great visit to St. Francis Hospital πŸ₯ in Port Washington, NY. We decided to activate an order for 3000 pairs of KEENE READING GLASSES πŸ‘“ at a price including the 30% tariff for products coming from China... The patients and family members of St. Francis need the glasses more than we need the money... We are pleased to be of service.


Margaret and I are pleased to provide "Amenities Pouches" filled with essential items for a hospital stay, including charging cords, chapstick, and more. Our goal is to help put people at ease during their time in the hospital.

St. Francis Hospital is one of the most patient-centric places for healing that we have encountered.
