Mission: To provide high quality healthcare to our uninsured and income-eligible neighbors in Butler County.
Vision: That all Butler County residents shall have access to primary medical care.
The clinic is a non-profit, community-based volunteer corporation; our mission is "To provide high quality healthcare to our uninsured and income-eligible neighbors in Butler County." Our Needs Assessment documented at least 11,000 people in Butler County who need such care. They are hardworking people, struggling to support themselves and their families, often working two jobs. They earn too much to qualify for Medicaid, but have no health benefits and cannot afford private insurance.

The clinic is modeled after the Hilton Head Volunteers in Medicine Clinic that opened in 1993, and has served as a model for 50 clinics across the country. The VIM Institute provides free organizational consulting for developing clinics as well as ongoing support for operating clinics.
The philosophy of all VIM clinics was established by the Hilton Head model. It is a "culture of caring" philosophy that recognizes that healing begins when patients are treated with dignity and respect, with love and compassion.
We are a member of the VIM Alliance.
All who volunteer their efforts in VIM clinics agree that the greatest healing takes place in the hearts of those who give the care.
The Clinic opened for patients January 15th. Prospective patients are being screened for eligibilitiy by Case Manager Beth Shingleton, and those who are eligible are being scheduled for appointments.
