“There is a spirit at Volunteers in Medicine that I have only felt at other VIM clinics. We are all connected by a cause and a belief that no one should have to do without basic healthcare and that a little effort by each of us can make the world a better place for so many.”

Dr. Helmer, volunteer at VIM of Cape May County and the Parker Family Health Center

“I am not exaggerating when I say that LIVES have literally been saved in our community because VIM was there to provide the knowledge, expertise, guidance, and support that a group of well-meaning but inexperienced citizens needed to bring this vision to reality.”
