The Eye & Ear Foundation, an independent 501(c)(3) organization, was founded in 1985 to foster support for the Departments of Ophthalmology and Otolaryngology-Head & Neck Surgery at the University of Pittsburgh through the generous support of individuals and organizations.
In supporting these world-class Departments, we hold ourselves to the same high standards. We plan to keep moving forward, expanding our support network, and helping the Departments of Ophthalmology and Otolaryngology-Head & Neck Surgery stand peerless in the distinction of research and education and, ultimately, the highest level of care provided to our patients.
“The Eye & Ear Foundation was established to enhance patient care,” said CEO Lawton Snyder. “We do this by supporting the work of the outstanding clinical and research faculty in the Departments of Ophthalmology and Otolaryngology-Head & Neck Surgery at the University of Pittsburgh. EEF has played a major role in making these Departments worldwide leaders in the field and in research and development pathways for care.”
