Disease Management
Because You’re Never Alone
Ongoing support for chronic conditions.
Creating pathways to wellness.
At Volunteers in Medicine Hilton Head Island, we provide more than just medical care—we offer ongoing support for patients living with chronic conditions. Our Disease Management Services are designed to help patients take control of their health, reduce complications, and improve their quality of life.
Living with a chronic illness can be overwhelming, but at VIM our patients don’t have to do it alone. Our team of volunteer healthcare professionals work with them to create a personalized care plan tailored to their needs, goals, and lifestyle.
A Team Approach to Better Health
We work together with our patients and for our patients. Our providers, nurses, educators, and support staff are here to guide our patients through every step of their journey with education, empathy, and encouragement. Whether they have just been diagnosed or have been managing their condition for years, we’re here to help them live better and longer.

In addition, VIM provides free access to home glucose monitors, continuous glucose monitors, diabetic testing supplies, and prescription medication including insulin.
