Message from the Executive Director

Recently the Methodist Eye and Tissue Bank closed its
doors and will no longer provide procurement services to
its client hospitals. We regret the loss of this fine organization,
but are pleased to be able to offer an alternative. The Indiana Lions
Eye Bank is available to meet the tissue procurement needs of
these hospitals.

The Indiana Lions Eye Bank has been serving Indiana for over 40
years and is the state's oldest procurement organization. Ours is the
only eye bank in the state that is certified, fully accredited and
endorsed by the Indiana Academy of Ophthalmology. We bring a
high degree of professionalism to our work and are committed to
quality, timely service and the psychosocial needs of our donor
families. For more information on how the Indiana Lions Eye
Bank can meet your procurement needs, call me at
1-800-232-4384. I will be glad to visit your facility to discuss
our donor procurement program.
Ronald Blanchett, Executive Director, ILEB
