Medical Clinic
Always Free, Always Compassionate
Primary and specialty care with heart.
A pioneer in free, compassionate care.
The Volunteers In Medicine Hilton Head Medical Clinic (VIM) provides over 21,000 patient visits each year—delivered by a dedicated team of retired physicians, nurses, physical therapists, dentists, interpreters, and community volunteers.
Most of our patients work but still can’t afford health insurance. In fact, 70 percent are employed or live in working households.
As the nation’s first free clinic built on a volunteer medical model, we’ve inspired the creation of over 100 VIM clinics nationwide—proving that compassionate, community-driven care works.
