In a world where kindness often feels scarce, Yolanda E., a patient at Volunteers in Medicine (VIM) Clinic, stands out as a shining example of compassion and care.
Yolanda’s introduction to VIM Clinic came through a neighbor’s encouragement, a nudge that would change her life and the lives of others. As she stepped through the doors of the clinic, she not only discovered the care she needed but also found a community dedicated to extending a helping hand to those who may otherwise go without.
Since her first appointment, Yolanda has embraced her role as more than just a patient. She has become a caregiver by offering support, companionship, and practical assistance to fellow patients navigating their own health challenges. Whether accompanying someone to an appointment, providing a listening ear, or simply offering a kind word of encouragement. At the heart of Yolanda’s actions lies a deep-seated belief in the power of empathy and human connection.
As we celebrate Caregiver’s Appreciation Day, we extend our gratitude to Yolanda and all caregivers who dedicate themselves to the service of others. Thank you for making the world a brighter and more compassionate place, one act of kindness at a time.

“As a patient at VIM, I like the way they treat me, and I let others know that they can help them too.”
