A Volunteer Powered Solution to the Health Care Crisis

Since opening day in 2002, Volunteers in Medicine (VIM), a 501(c)3 non-profit, has provided free care to residents of Cape May County and the surrounding community who cannot afford medical insurance and who meet financial eligibility criteria.

VIM relies on volunteer medical practitioners and a very lean staff to provide primary health care, emphasizing disease prevention, health promotion, and patient education in an easily accessible facility with the same dignity and confidentiality afforded in the private sector.  VIM, with the support of the medical community and community at large is able to address the health and well-being of patients; stabilize chronic conditions; help contain infectious disease; and, reduce public healthcare costs by reducing reliance on emergency rooms in local hospitals.
