Every day, the wonderful generosity of our volunteers and supporters renews hope among those in need of primary care services. Since 1995, the Volunteers in Medicine Clinic has been providing quality, compassionate health care to the community. Our patients are legal adult residents of Martin County who do not qualify for Medicaid or Medicare, do not have private health insurance, and have incomes below 200 percent of the federal poverty level.
We meet a critical need in the community thanks to the caring work of volunteer physicians, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, nurses and medical assistants, along with our lay personnel and community partners. Martin Memorial Health Systems contributes more than $2 million a year in laboratory, diagnostic and other services to our patients. Other partners are the Martin County Medical Society, the Martin County Health Department, the Friends of Volunteers in Medicine Clinic, pharmaceutical companies and local physicians.
In addition to general medicine, we can provide access to a number of specialties such as dermatology, gastroenterology, gynecology, neurology, ophthalmology, orthopedics, otolaryngology, podiatry, psychiatry and urology.
For every dollar donated, we provide over $10 worth of medical services to patients. Over 98 percent of our funding is spent on program services. In 2010, we will provide $8.2 million in medical services on a budget of $718,000, thanks to the generous contributions of our volunteers, partners, local businesses and other community supporters.
