Patients

Services our patients have access to at Volunteers In Medicine

Primary Care – VIM is a medical “home-base” for low-income adults in Lane County without health care coverage and the economic means to pay fees for service. The clinic manages volunteer physicians and nurse practitioners who volunteer time to treat patients and provide the highest quality medical care to patients, and to prevent illness among the well.

Behavioral Health – The Behavioral Health program provides access to mental health care including diagnostic services, counseling and medication. Volunteer counselors, psychologists, and psychiatrists support the Behavioral Health program by donating their time to improve the quality of patients' lives.

Dispensary – VIM runs an in-house dispensary that provides patients with medication at no cost. The dispensary can only dispense medications prescribed by physicians at the clinic. We fill and dispense prescriptions during clinic hours only. Please do not wait until you are out of medication to request a refill. Plan ahead. Allow at least 72 hours for refills.

Diabetes Management and Education – The clinic offers one-on-one counseling to diabetic patients. We provide blood glucose monitoring, self-testing tools and classes that suport self-management and lifestyle habits to reduce complications and health issues associated with diabetes. These services are offered both in English and Spanish.

Specialty Referral – Specialists volunteer time at Volunteers In Medicine, and in addition, clinic staff facilitates patient visits to outside specialists.

Women's Health Care - Routine gynecological care and other women's health care is provided at the clinic or arranged for in the community.
