Lighthouse Guild was formed by a merger in 2013 between Jewish Guild Healthcare and Lighthouse International.


Formerly known as '''Lighthouse International''', it merged with Jewish Guild Healthcare and as of January 2014 became known as Lighthouse Guild International,<ref name=nytimes-sept18-2013 /><ref name=AFB>{{cite web | url = http://www.afb.org/directory/profile/lighthouse-guild-international-formerly-lighthouse-international/12| title= Lighthouse Guild International (formerly Lighthouse International) – AFB Directory Profile| publisher=[[American Foundation for the Blind]]| access-date= January 7, 2015| archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20150108010204/http://www.afb.org/directory/profile/lighthouse-guild-international-formerly-lighthouse-international/12 |archive-date=January 8, 2015|url-status=live}}</ref> with the name eventually shortened to Lighthouse Guild.<!--as per 2016 logo and as per official website-->
Lighthouse Guild was officially formed in December 2013, when '''Jewish Guild Healthcare''' and '''Lighthouse International''' merged, drawing on more than 200 years of combined service, with histories dating back to 1914 and 1905, respectively.


==History==
==History==
During a trip to [[Florence]], Italy, at the turn of the 20th century, sisters [[Winifred Holt|Winifred]] and Edith Holt learned of a free service that provided concert tickets to blind schoolchildren. Inspired by the notion, the sisters established the similar Lighthouse Free Ticket Bureau in New York City in 1903. The organization was incorporated in 1906 as '''The New York Association for the Blind''' and offered home counseling and instruction program for the visually impaired.<ref name=annualmeeting1907>{{cite news| url= https://query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=990CE1D61130E233A25750C1A9679C946697D6CF| title=Helping the Blind to See: Remarkable Work by Two New York Women in Behalf of the Sightless Teaching Carpentry, Telephone Operating, Massage, Sewing and Stenography to Those Who Cannot See.|date=January 13, 1907 | work= [[The New York Times]] | page = 5| access-date= September 11, 2015}} {{subscription required}}</ref> An early meeting for the board and the public, including blind men and women, was held at the [[Waldorf-Astoria]] hotel. Also in attendance were Secretary Miss Winifred Holt, Recording Secretary Miss Edith Holt, President [[Richard Watson Gilder]], Vice-President [[Helen Keller]], with honorary vice presidents Dr. [[Nicholas Murray Butler]] and [[Samuel Langhorne Clemens]]. The advisory board consisted of Dr. [[Felix Adler (professor)|Felix Adler]], [[Joseph H. Choate]], [[John Murphy Farley|John Farley]], [[David H. Greer|Bishop David Greer]], Dr. William H. Maxwell and Dr. [[Charles H. Parkhurst]].<ref name=annualmeeting1907 />


Winifred Holt also participated in founding the New York State Commission for the Blind and Visually Handicapped. In 1912, the association established a workshop on East 42nd Street where visually impaired men could manufacture marketable products, and the sisters opened their home to visually impaired women to create handcrafted items for sale, leading to the organization's motto, "Light Through Work."<ref name=officialhistory>{{cite web | url = http://www.nycago.org/Organs/NYC/html/NYAssocBlind.html | title = New York Association for the Blind – Lighthouse International | publisher = Lighthouse International | date = n.d. | access-date = August 23, 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150710014428/http://www.nycago.org/Organs/NYC/html/NYAssocBlind.html |archive-date=July 10, 2015}}</ref>
In 1905, sisters Winifred and Edith Holt, inspired by witnessing a service in Florence, Italy, that provided free concert tickets to blind schoolchildren, founded The Lighthouse, which quickly became a pioneer in the field of vision rehabilitation. It was incorporated in 1906 as The New York Association for the Blind, Inc., and began to provide counseling and instruction for people with vision impairment. The Filomen M. D’Agostino Greenberg Music School opened its doors in 1913. Today, it is the only community music school in the United States dedicated solely to serving students of all ages with vision loss. In 1998, The Lighthouse was named Lighthouse International to recognize its outreach on behalf of people worldwide who are visually impaired.


Lighthouse became international with the onset of [[World War I]], when Winifred Holt in 1915 established Le Phare de Bordeaux, in France. Other overseas offices opened in Paris; Rome; [[Warsaw]]; [[Guangzhou|Canton, China]]; Japan, the Middle East, India, South America, and elsewhere.<ref name=officialhistory />
In 1914, the first formal meeting of the New York Guild for the Jewish Blind was held. The organization began by providing care, support and education for blind children, opening a home in Yonkers in 1919, with separate annexes for blind women and men. By the mid-1930s The Guild’s Library, containing books in Braille in nine languages, was lending books to readers in all 50 states and 14 foreign countries. Its greatest undertaking was the transcription of school books for students from the grammar school level through post-graduate studies.


That same year, the association created the River Lighthouse, in [[Cornwall-on-Hudson, New York]], as the first of its eventually several summer camps for visually impaired children. Camp Munger, in [[Bear Mountain, New York]], followed in 1923. A kindergarten was formed in 1925, and the Lighthouse Nursery School in 1933. An affiliation with the [[Ophthalmological Foundation]] in 1952 led to that foundation becoming the organization's research arm. The following year, the Lighthouse Low Vision Service was founded to administer to people with partial sight.<ref name=officialhistory />
'''The 1950s'''
[[File:Lighthouse International Logo.jpg|left|thumb|Logo of predecessor organization Lighthouse International]]


In 1989, The New York Association for the Blind, Inc., became The Lighthouse Inc., and in 1998, the organization was renamed Lighthouse International.
In 1952, The Lighthouse commissioned the Ophthalmological Foundation to undertake medical research related to vision impairment and in 1953, it pioneered services for people with partial – rather than total – vision loss by establishing a low vision clinic.


In January 2010 Lighthouse International acquired the National Association for Visually Handicapped (NAVH),<ref>{{cite web |title=Lighthouse International Acquires National Association for Visually Handicapped (NAVH) |url=http://lighthouse.org/news/press-releases/navh |publisher=Lighthouse International |access-date=20 February 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130307014505/http://www.lighthouse.org/news/press-releases/navh |archive-date=March 7, 2013}}</ref> an organization which provided services for the partially sighted.<ref>{{cite web |title=National Association for Visually Handicapped – NAVH |url=http://healthfinder.gov/orgs/HR0415.htm |publisher=U.S. Department of Health & Human Services |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120311063302/http://healthfinder.gov/orgs/HR0415.htm |archive-date=March 11, 2012 }}</ref> In September 2013, a merger was announced with Jewish Guild Healthcare, under the name '''Lighthouse Guild International'''.<ref name=nytimes-sept18-2013>{{cite news | url = https://www.nytimes.com/2013/09/17/nyregion/two-groups-serving-the-blind-to-merge-in-2014.html | title = Hoping to Raise Awareness, 2 Leading Groups for the Blind Plan a Merger | work = [[The New York Times]] | first= James | last= Barron | date= September 16, 2013 | access-date = September 23, 2013 | quote= The two organizations that are joining forces, Jewish Guild Healthcare and Lighthouse International, have slightly different specialties and slightly different patient populations.

'''The 1960s and 1970s'''


==Branches and services==
By the early 1960s, The New York Guild for the Jewish Blind had been renamed The Jewish Guild for the Blind to reflect its non-sectarian status and, in 1961, it opened the psychiatric clinic. The clinic was the first, and remains the only, such clinic in the country to offer treatment and management of behavioral disorders to people who are blind or visually impaired, with programs specifically designed and adapted for people with depression, anxiety and fear associated with sensory and functional loss.
[[File:Lighthouse International jeh.JPG|thumb|Former headquarters at 111 East 59th Street, New York City]]


It operates the Arlene R. Gordon Research Institute in New York, and New York Lighthouse [[Vision Rehabilitation]] Services.<ref name=nyt2002 />
In 1967, The Lighthouse opened its child development center, which operates today as The Ethel and Samuel J. LeFrak School. The school is an integrated pre-K program which educates children with visual impairment alongside their sighted peers. And in 1975, The Lighthouse established the first professional training program in low vision care, the only program accredited by the American Medical Association at that time.

'''Awards and Vision Research'''

Throughout their histories, The Lighthouse and The Guild have developed awards that recognize excellence in vision research or rehabilitation. The Pisart Award in Vision Science was inaugurated in 1981 by The Lighthouse, to recognize an early-career clinician or scientist, while The Guild established the Bressler Prize in Vision Science in 2003. This latter award recognizes an established mid-career clinician or scientist.

In 1995, The Lighthouse created The Arlene R. Gordon Research Institute, while in 2011, The Guild created the Oberdorfer Award in Low Vision in 2011, in collaboration with the ARVO Foundation for Eye Research. The former conducts studies designed to translate scientific findings and technological advances into useful solutions for people living with vision loss, and the latter award recognizes an individual’s role in furthering low vision research and rehabilitation.

'''Healthcare and Training'''

The 1980s and 1990s saw the opening by The Guild of a number of medically related services for people who have vision loss, such as the Adult Day Health Care program, which opened in 1984; the Developmental Disabilities Day Treatment Program in 1990; the Diagnostic and Treatment Center in 1994, offering low vision services along with primary care and selected specialty medical services; and GuildNet, established in 1997, one of the first Managed Long Term Care plans in New York State. The Guild also began to focus on educating the caregivers of persons who are blind or visually impaired, when it created its SightCare training program in 2000.

'''Supporting Parents and Students Nationwide'''

In 2004, The Guild began its national scholarship program, now amalgamated with The Lighthouse program, awarding substantial scholarships to help legally blind young adults successfully transition to college, to support their post-graduate education and to facilitate career development.

Recognizing the need for the support of parents whose children have vision loss, The Guild launched its National Tele-Support Network for Parents of Children with Visual Impairment in 2006. The program connects parents whose children have the same impairment, through weekly meetings facilitated by a psychologist or social worker. Parents phone in from around the country and abroad to discuss their children’s eye conditions.

In 2013, '''Jewish Guild Healthcare''' and '''Lighthouse International''' announced that they planned to merge, and in 2014, Lighthouse Guild was officially launched. This merger brought under one roof a full spectrum of integrated vision + healthcare services, helping people who are blind or visually impaired, including those with multiple disabilities or chronic medical conditions, lead productive, dignified and fulfilling lives.

Lighthouse Guild is an American charitable organization, based in New York City, devoted to vision rehabilitation and advocacy for the blind. Its mission statement is "To overcome vision impairment for people of all ages through worldwide leadership in rehabilitation services, education, research, prevention and advocacy."[2]

Formerly known as Lighthouse International, it merged with Jewish Guild Healthcare and as of January 2014 became known as Lighthouse Guild International,[3][4] with the name eventually shortened to Lighthouse Guild.

History

[edit]

During a trip to Florence, Italy, at the turn of the 20th century, sisters Winifred and Edith Holt learned of a free service that provided concert tickets to blind schoolchildren. Inspired by the notion, the sisters established the similar Lighthouse Free Ticket Bureau in New York City in 1903. The organization was incorporated in 1906 as The New York Association for the Blind and offered home counseling and instruction program for the visually impaired.[5] An early meeting for the board and the public, including blind men and women, was held at the Waldorf-Astoria hotel. Also in attendance were Secretary Miss Winifred Holt, Recording Secretary Miss Edith Holt, President Richard Watson Gilder, Vice-President Helen Keller, with honorary vice presidents Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler and Samuel Langhorne Clemens. The advisory board consisted of Dr. Felix Adler, Joseph H. Choate, John Farley, Bishop David Greer, Dr. William H. Maxwell and Dr. Charles H. Parkhurst.[5]

Winifred Holt also participated in founding the New York State Commission for the Blind and Visually Handicapped. In 1912, the association established a workshop on East 42nd Street where visually impaired men could manufacture marketable products, and the sisters opened their home to visually impaired women to create handcrafted items for sale, leading to the organization's motto, "Light Through Work."[6]

Lighthouse became international with the onset of World War I, when Winifred Holt in 1915 established Le Phare de Bordeaux, in France. Other overseas offices opened in Paris; Rome; Warsaw; Canton, China; Japan, the Middle East, India, South America, and elsewhere.[6]

That same year, the association created the River Lighthouse, in Cornwall-on-Hudson, New York, as the first of its eventually several summer camps for visually impaired children. Camp Munger, in Bear Mountain, New York, followed in 1923. A kindergarten was formed in 1925, and the Lighthouse Nursery School in 1933. An affiliation with the Ophthalmological Foundation in 1952 led to that foundation becoming the organization's research arm.
