Mid Atlantic Retina Physicians, in conjunction with Wills Eye Hospital are inventing the eye care standards of tomorrow. We have a sense of commitment to improve clinical care, to push forward the boundaries of research, and to train the next generation of people who will ensure the eye health of people throughout the world. The only way we can fully realize our potential is with the support of our courageous patients and philanthropists, the people who have the foresight to understand these challenges. There’s a huge amount to learn about preserving and improving sight and we want to keep this edge in terms of moving things forward. On-going research support, funded by donations, is needed in order to accomplish that.
The McNamara Fund was created to honor our dear colleague and friend, Dr. J. Arch McNamara. Dr. McNamara passed away in 2010 and his kindness, compassion, infectious laughter, and love of life have been sorely missed throughout our practice. Dr. McNamara brought a deep commitment to his patients and he demonstrated on a daily basis what it took to be a great physician.
The McNamara Fund, created in his honor at Wills Eye Hospital, continues his legacy of resident and fellow education and research.
