Hi all,

My name is Uma and I'm a student at The University of Chicago. I was given
your contact information by Mr. Mike Robinson, the NFB New York State
Affiliate President.

I am conducting a research study about the obstacles that visually impaired
adults face when accessing healthcare. By joining me in this study, you
would have a voice in advocating for improvements to healthcare
access. Your participation will take approximately three hours total and
you will be provided with $50 of compensation upon completion of the study.

Below are the details of the study. If you're interested in participating
or would like to learn more about this study, please contact me at
umab at uchicago.edu or (646) 320-7641. I would really appreciate your help.

Best,
Uma Balachandran
