Thank you for being our partner in caring for our patients!!

Taking care of the tiniest patients with the mightiest stories will never be something we take lightly. 🤍

It is such a privilege to care for the sweet babies diagnosed with Retinopathy of Prematurity across the tri-state area. These little fighters may be small, but their strength? Absolutely unmatched.

We get the honor of partnering with incredible NICU teams, worried (and wonderfully brave) parents, and communities who trust us with what matters most — their baby’s vision. That trust is not lost on us.

ROP days mean tiny hands, tiny lashes, and very serious doctors leaning over incubators doing very serious work… while secretly being completely in awe of how strong these babies are. 🫶

At Charles Retina Institute, we don’t just cover the tri-state — we show up for it. Every hospital. Every consult. Every baby.

Chef Willie Means went above and beyond to ensure every detail was handled with care for recent events. His positive attitude, easiness to work with and willingness to help with anything that was needed made a tremendous difference in making the event a success.

Please help us congratulate our Service First Winners - Ashley Carter & Melissa Ridgell! Baptist's Service First program provides an easy way to recognize team members who consistently exhibit Baptist's values. Here is a nomination from one of our patients acknowledging the Baptist values in her care.

I had gone to Women's Hospital for a myomectomy. This procedure included an overnight stay. My daytime nurse Was Melissa and my night nurse was Ashley. Both Melissa and Ashley provided superior care. During the daytime Melissa was attentive and quick to respond to all of my needs. I had spouts of nausea and I never once felt ignored or put to the side by Melissa. I know that I was not Melissa‘s only patient for the day, but she made me feel like all of her care was directed at me. That level of attentiveness and patient centered care is hard to find in today’s medical world. My husband was in the room and he has medical training and she was able to communicate with him to help better my Care both in the facility and at home. Melissa did an amazing job of empowering me to help move around and become mobile while in the hospital. Her ability to instill patient empowerment into someone who is scared and in pain is unbelievable. I am sitting at home recovering and doing quite well, I feel that this would be a disservice if it wasn’t mentioned that my confidence to walk and move around didn’t start with Melissa.
Ashley was my nighttime nurse. Waking up a sleeping patient has its own struggles. I understand she has a job to do and I’m sure she doesn’t enjoy waking up individuals who are trying to recover. She showed a level of compassion in the middle of the night that was very heartwarming. She never once seemed grumpy, showed frustration, and always had a smile on her face. Her ability to administer care is beyond memorable, even when being woken from a dead sleep. Aside from her superior bedside manner, I have to tip my hat that she was respectful of my husband sleeping in the room. A small detail, but something that meant a lot to me.
I am from out of state, I’m a transplant from Illinois. I have no kids and want to start a family. The Care, attention, and patient centered care that I received at your facility is why I want to have a birthing plan with you. The qualities and attributes would never have been known to me if it wasn’t for these two nurses and the rest of the staff that were part of my Care Team. These two women and all those from environmental services, food services, and patient care tax should all be recognized. But the hard work that these two nurses put in should be recognized at a top-tier level. My mother told me something when I was younger, and it is stuck with me, being treated equal and being treated fair are not the same, as stated above all members of my Care Team did an amazing job and they deserve to be recognized. Melissa and Ashley gave me the most FaceTime, gave me the most help, and most of all gave me the most confidence to be the best woman that I could be after this procedure. That type of behavior needs to be recognized. Those two are amazing. Women and Baptist should be honored to have them as part of their team.
