A Statewide Movement of Care: The Impact of Free Clinics

At Volunteers in Medicine, we believe access to quality healthcare shouldn’t depend on your income or insurance status. That’s why we’re proud to be part of a powerful network of free and charitable clinics across Florida that provide life-changing care to those who need it most. fafcc.org

Across the state, free clinics serve as a vital healthcare safety net — offering medical, dental, mental health, vision, pharmacy, and preventive services at no cost or significantly reduced cost to patients. In just one year alone, this network reached hundreds of thousands of Floridians, helping:

  • Over 240,000 patients receive compassionate care

  • With more than half a million clinic visits for essential services

  • And an estimated $266 million in healthcare delivered to individuals who otherwise might forgo care.

This care doesn’t just improve health — it strengthens families, keeps people working, reduces harmful emergency room visits, and prevents costly medical crises. These outcomes are made possible through dedicated volunteers, strategic funding, and community support — the same forces that power VIM’s work every day. fafcc.org

Free clinics like VIM are more than healthcare providers — they’re community lifelines.
