A Commitment to Health Equity and Compassionate Care
We are driven by a deep commitment to address the healthcare needs of the working uninsured and underinsured populations in our communities. As a non-profit, community-based organization, our mission is simple yet profound: to provide free primary and preventative healthcare services to those who are employed but lack access to affordable health insurance.
Our services are designed to help individuals and families navigate the complex healthcare system and receive the care they deserve, regardless of their financial situation. Through our efforts, we aim to ensure that everyone, no matter their background or socioeconomic status, has access to quality healthcare services.
Volunteers in Medicine is committed to health equity. We recognize that racial, societal, and economic factors directly influence people's ability to access the healthcare services they need. These disparities are often exacerbated by barriers such as lack of accessible and affordable healthcare, food insecurity, lack of transportation, and unsafe housing. As a free clinic, we are on the frontlines of addressing these systemic issues.
Our approach to healthcare is holistic, aiming not just to treat illness but to address the social determinants of health that affect the overall well-being of our patients. We provide comprehensive care that goes beyond just medical treatment, offering resources and support to help individuals overcome the challenges they face in their daily lives.
Our Core Values: Building a Culture of Respect, Excellence, and Teamwork
At Volunteers in Medicine, we believe that patient-centered care is at the heart of everything we do. Our core values guide us in our mission to provide the highest quality of care in a compassionate, respectful, and empowering environment.
Respect & Compassion: We are committed to fostering an environment where all individuals are treated with dignity, kindness, and understanding.
Excellence: We strive to deliver the highest standards of care, driven by passion, integrity, and innovation.
Teamwork & Stewardship: We work as a collaborative team, maximizing our resources to ensure the best outcomes for our patients while maintaining a positive and supportive environment.
Gratitude: We are deeply thankful for the generosity of our donors, volunteers, and supporters, who make it possible for us to continue our work.
Looking Ahead: A Vision for Growth and Sustainability
Looking ahead, Volunteers in Medicine is planning for the future. In 2025, we aim to take significant steps toward sustainability and growth. Our strategic plan includes expanding our services, pursuing federal and state support to become a Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC), and eventually finding a larger facility to better serve our growing community.
We also recognize the importance of raising awareness and expanding our reach through social media and other advertising efforts. We are determined to continue working alongside our community partners, local officials, and philanthropic supporters to achieve our goals.
With your help, we can bring these plans to fruition. Whether through volunteering, donating, or sponsoring our events, every contribution plays a vital role in making our vision a reality. Join us in our mission to provide high-quality healthcare and support to those who need it most. Together, we can build a healthier, more equitable community for all.
