Volunteers in Medicine Clinic - Healthy Communities Initiative

Provides free primary health care to Bartholomew County residents who are uninsured and at or below 50% median income.

Eligible patients can see physicians and nurse practitioners at the clinic, be treated for acute illnesses, have physical examinations and receive referrals for specialists, dentists, X-rays and lab tests. Patients with acute dental pain and infection are first seen by a dentist at the clinic.

Limited dental cleanings are available by referral from the dentist. Further services include chronic disease management and mental health counseling.

All appointments made as quickly as possible, although urgent care may be arranged within 1-2 days. Specialists may be available on limited basis with up to one month wait. The clinic operates most efficiently by appointment, but every attempt will be made to see ill persons as quickly as possible.

A $2 dispensing fee will be collected on each prescription received from the clinic. Max Charge will be $10 for patients receiving multiple prescriptions.

Proyecto Salud is offered in conjunction with Healthy Communities Initiative on Mon. evenings, making services available to Spanish-speaking persons. Translators are available.

Donations of medicine may be accepted at the clinic as long as the medication is not expired and is sealed.
