The Illinois Eye Institute participates in the Speak Up™ campaign, a national safety initiative by The Joint Commission. The Joint Commission is an independent, not-for-profit organization that serves as the nation’s oldest and largest health standards and accrediting body. 

​

The goal of Speak Up is to help patients and their advocates become active in their care. The Illinois Eye Institute encourages patients to speak up with their questions and concerns from the beginning of treatment through to the end of their visit.  We are here to partner with you to improve your health. 

​

The Speak Up campaign asks patients to:

​

• Speak up if you have questions or concerns...

• Pay attention to the care you get...

• Educate yourself about your illness...

• Ask advocates (such as family members and friends) to help...

• Know about your new medicines...

• Use a quality health care organization...

• Participate in all decisions about your care...
