Overview

Mission

To understand and serve the primary health care needs of the uninsured and underinsured population in southern Nevada.

What it reported doing in 2024

Volunteers in medicine of southern Nevada is a community supported nonprofit integrated healthcare organization dedicated to providing free services to southern Nevada's uninsured, low-income residents. Our leveraged care model employs a small paid team who works collaboratively with volunteers, students and residents to provide medical, dental, and social behavioral services along with pharmaceuticals. We operate two clinic locations: our ruffin family clinic located on 1240 n. Martin luther king blvd, las vegas, nv and our paradise park clinic located at 4770 harrison drive, las vegas, nv 89121.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 95% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.
  • Includes noncash contributions: Reported contributions include donated property or goods.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
