Volunteers in Medicine (VIM) is a national non-profit organization based in the United States, dedicated to building a network of free primary health care clinics for the medically underserved population, including those without health insurance.
History
[edit]Volunteers in Medicine was founded in 2001 in North Carolina. VIM was growing at a steady rate until partnering with The Dr Oz Show for an episode, after which the organization experienced rapid growth.[1][2]
In 2021, Volunteers in Medicine announced that it was moving its free clinic program to the National Association of Free and Charitable Clinics (NAFC).[3]
