Centre Volunteers in Medicine (CVIM) is the only free clinic in Centre County, PA, providing medical, dental, behavioral health, case management, medication assistance, laboratory testing, and health education services to nearly 1,100 uninsured and underinsured residents annually. Founded in 2003, CVIM is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit and does not receive federal or state funding for its operations. Instead, our operation is sustained through a diversified range of funding sources, including private donations, corporate sponsorships, fundraising events, grants, and in-kind donations from local partners. A team of 23 staff members works alongside more than 200 volunteer providers, pharmacists, interpreters, receptionists, administrative personnel, and others. Our mission is to serve and advocate for the medically underserved, improving health equity and reducing disparities. All CVIM patients must meet certain eligibility requirements, including that their household income is at or below 250% of the federal poverty level, and they must be approved in advance for care.
