Charity or Giving Back
MEC Cares
Multack Eye Care is passionate about the care we provide to all of our patients. We are dedicated to our community, especially those less fortunate who may not be able to afford vision care. In 2019, Dr. Multack established MEC Cares, a nonprofit organization, to preserve and improve vision, for low-income patients or patients in need.
MEC Cares donate their surgeons and clinic professionals time and skills to perform cataract eye surgeries at no cost for patients in need from our community.
For people diagnosed with cataracts who are living at or below the poverty level, the medical attention they desperately need can be out of reach. MEC Cares mission is to support and serve those individuals by delivering cost-free, sight-saving surgery.
MEC Cares adheres to the following application guidelines to ensure that the greatest community needs are being met:
- The income of applicants must fall within the current year’s U.S. Dept. of Health & Human Services federal poverty guidelines.
- Applicants must not have health insurance and may not be enrolled in Medicare or Medicaid.
- Those applying need to be diagnosed and in need of cataract surgery.
- To be considered, a financial screening application with documentation must be submitted.
- This is a needs-based program that operates on a first-come, first-served basis.
- There are a limited number of spots, so you shouldn’t wait to contact us.
While cataracts are the most common condition treated through this program, other surgically treatable eye conditions may be eligible as well. If you would like to be considered for participation in MEC CARES, please Request an Appointment today!
