Community Involvement
Building Our Community, Together
There’s more than one way to build a community aside from establishing the facilities where people work, heal, and learn. The Pangere Corporation believes that being a true builder also means partnering with community organizations to continue finding ways to serve its cities. The company is proud to be affiliated with the following organizations:
The Pangere Center for Inherited Retinal Diseases

In part because of his experiences with visual impairment, Mr. Pangere helped launch the Pangere Center for Inherited Retinal Diseases in partnership with The Chicago Lighthouse for People Who are Blind or Visually Impaired. The center will be led by world-renowned ophthalmologist and researcher Dr. Gerald Fishman, who was listed as one of Chicago Magazine’s 100 Top Doctors in 2015. He and Pangere have known each other for more than four decades.
The center uses technological equipment and discoveries in biomedical research to advance treatment strategies for various blinding retinal diseases. www.thechicagolighthouse.org
