Radio Eye, Kentucky’s only radio reading and information service for those who are visually impaired or physically disabled, is proud to announce its recent partnership with St. Claire Regional Medical Center (SCR).
Formed in 1988, Radio Eye is a nonprofit organization based in Lexington that broadcasts the reading of printed news, magazines and community events to people who are blind, visually impaired or have any disability that makes reading difficult or impossible.
Through this partnership, Radio Eye’s 24-hour broadcast is available to all patients at SCR on in-house television channel 88.2.
“This partnership allows us to provide a new, unique service in our facility,” Mark J. Neff, SCR President/CEO, said.
“In addition to the high quality care we provide, we strive to provide our patients with advanced resources, in hopes of making their stay the best it can possibly be,” added Neff.
Amy Hatter, executive director of Radio Eye, said, “We are excited to be able to offer this additional service in Morehead. We’ve been in Morehead a few months now, through a partnership with Morehead State Public Radio, so people can have our service in their homes – we’re glad to have this opportunity to offer another way for listeners to tune in.”
