Mission:

VIH is a nationwide, non-profit program established in 1997 as a resource for health care providers looking to organize or expand volunteer-led medical & dental services for the uninsured in their communities.  The web site serves as an online resource where program organizers and leaders can share their knowledge and experiences with one another, and find a wealth of relevant news, tips, tools and resources.

Focus:

volunteer-led medical and dental services for underserved patients

Resources:

The web site provides multiple links to resources for establishing and operating free clinics.  VIH has also created an electronic "toolbox" with presentations, manuals and resources for topics including cultural competency, dental clinics, grant funding, HIPAA and pharmaceutical assistance.  VIH also has a listserv to link providers together to facilitate networking.
