Volunteers in Medicine (VIM) is a community-based nonprofit organization established to provide free primary and preventative medical, dental and behavioral healthcare to working low income families of Luzerne County. The Wilkes-Barre clinic opened in 2008 and is one of 90 Volunteers in Medicine locations across the country. Their services help build a stronger, healthier community.
Volunteers in Medicine is not a federally-funded organization. The clinic operates solely off of donations from businesses and individuals, grants from foundations and proceeds from special events.
