Volunteers in Medicine, now under the NAFC, supports communities in establishing, growing, and enhancing free clinics. The program offers tailored consultation throughout the clinic development journey, from initial studies to clinic opening. Aligned expansion sites can access educational resources to extend their services and impact, promoting the VIM Model.
Collaborating with NAFC's Volunteers in Medicine Program brings numerous benefits, including over 90 successful clinic developments since 1996. Sites receive personalized consulting, checklists, templates, and connections to experts and resources, fostering a robust clinic environment. Moreover, the program offers financial support through grants and opportunities for clinic enhancement.
By following the VIM Model, these clinics operate as community-driven initiatives, providing essential healthcare services to the underserved. Each clinic, locally managed and operated, emphasizes community involvement and support. The VIM Model's "Circle of Caring" philosophy ensures that patients are treated with dignity and respect, fostering a nurturing environment for all.
