Since our founding in 1824, MEEI has been guided by a mission “that the deaf may hear and the blind may see.” Our vision is to be the preeminent world-wide source of advances and leaders in preserving and restoring vision, hearing, balance and voice as well as in curing disorders of the head and neck
MEEI is a non-profit specialty teaching hospital that is dedicated to excellence in the care of disorders that affect the eye, ear, nose, throat, and head and neck. Patients come to MEEI for specialized care from Boston, New England, all throughout the United States, and from 99 countries around the world.
MEEI is a pioneer of research to preserve and restore vision from blinding diseases including macular degeneration, glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy and others. Extensive research is underway to improve diagnosis and treatment for hearing loss, balance problems and head and neck cancer.
MEEI is the primary teaching hospital of Harvard Medical School in ophthalmology and otolaryngology. Each year, approximately 100 residents and fellows participate in one of the most sought-after medical training programs in the country.

My personal message:
For several years now, I've been a patient at the Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary (MEEI), one of the world's top sites for patient care and research. In an effort to give something back, I'm going to run the 2008 Boston Marathon (April 21). My goal is to raise $3,000 (or even more) for patient care. Please cheer me on while I train for and run this historic race! And, if you can, please consider making a donation to this worthy cause and great institution! Please consider a donation of $26 (a dollar per mile), $50, or more! Even giving 5, 10, or 20 dollars will help me reach the $3,000 goal. Thanks VERY much for your support!!! It means a lot to me (and I know it means a lot to the patients at the Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary). Jason P.S. Please forward this to anyone who you think might want to donate too! http://www.firstgiving.com/jasonemsley
