Volusia Volunteers in Medicine opens permanent clinic space; seeking donations and corporate support
Loading...
Summary
A representative of Volusia Volunteers in Medicine said the volunteer-run free clinic has moved into a donated 1,600-square-foot space with three exam rooms and donated equipment and asked for donations and larger corporate support to expand patient capacity.
A representative of Volusia Volunteers in Medicine told the advisory meeting that the volunteer-run free clinic has a new permanent location and is seeking donations and corporate partners to support more patients.
The speaker said the organization received a 1,600-square-foot space at the corner of Fentress and Mason rent-free for five years and that an additional retiring physician donated equipment and furniture, enabling the clinic to open with three exam rooms and a walk-in room. "We have a fully stocked, brand new permanent location, where we're seeing patients for free," the representative said.
The clinic accepts qualifying Volusia County residents and maintains eligibility details on its website; the speaker asked for donations and for larger companies to consider sponsorships so the clinic can increase the number of patients it serves.
Why this matters: the clinic provides no-cost primary care to uninsured or underinsured county residents; expanded permanent space and donated equipment increase capacity but require funding and volunteer support to serve more patients.
