May is healthy vision month and what better time for Virginia Eye Institute to break ground for a new location!
The Short Pump area welcomes a new location for the Virginia Eye Institute, making it even more convenient than ever to take better care of your sight. The Towne Center West Ground Breaking Ceremony was held on May 18, 2011 at noon. Just before the event, the sun burst through the overcast skies and clouds to welcome the new center to the area.
Groundbreakers included Paul Bullock, M.D., Chris Carney, CEO, Virgil Hazelett, P.E., County Manager, County of Henrico; and Tedrick Johnson, HCA Capital Division, VP Operations.
An attendee at the ground breaking ceremony made this comment, “Richmond has many state-of-the-art healthcare facilities and the Virginia Eye Institute is among the best — and now they make it even more convenient to get the best eye care possible.”

Chris Carney, Virginia Eye Institute CEO, welcomed visitors and explained that the new location for Virginia Eye Institute creates a convenient and state-of-the-art facility for their patients. The 16,000 square foot eye care center is slated for completion by January, 2012.
