Could you provide patient care from a minimum of 4 hours per month to 4 hours once or twice a weekon a regularly scheduled basis to some of the 40,000 citizens living in the greater Lakeland Area who have no access to health care? They are our friends and neighbors and many are children. The State of Florida provides Sovereign Immunity to our licensed providers under its Volunteer Health Care Provider Program.

Mission Statement
The Lakeland Volunteers in Medicine Clinic is a VOLUNTEER run medical clinic that provides primary medical care, dental, and counseling services to the working uninsured of Greater Lakeland. LVIM operations are funded through a capital campaign, grants and ongoing fundraising. We provide a compassionate and nurturing environment for patients, volunteers and staff that is based on our philosophy that (1) healing does not begin with a pill or a therapy, but when you greet someone at the door, invite them in, take an interest in their lives and give them the dignity and respect they often get no where else, and (2) the greatest healing does not go to the patients that come to receive care, but to the volunteers that go to the LVIM clinic to give care.
Description
LVIM provides primary healthcare to the working uninsured of Lakeland through a staff of dedicated volunteers.
