Overview
Mission
To service the health care needs of saint charles county and lincoln county adult residents who are not covered by medicare, medicaid or private health insurance and whose household income meets the organizations federal poverty guidelines.
What it reported doing in 2025
Volunteers in medicine (vim) provides free care to residents of st. Charles and lincoln counties regardless of their ability to pay. Patients are served in a compassionate and nurturing environment which delivers high quality, efficient medical care in a fiscally responsible manner and in an appropriate setting. In 2025, vim provided 2,629 patient visits. This increase from prior years was driven by the number of patients now qualifying for medicaid in Missouri. Vim provides patients with the medications needed to treat their condition. The majority of vim patients have chronic conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, asthma, high cholesterol, copd, depression, etc. While vim dedicated staff can provide care and support, without medications, our patient's health will not improve. For each patient visit, vim's cost for medication was $10.28 in 2025. Vim has no paid staff. All physicians, nurses and support staff volunteer their time to meet the needs of those less fortunate in our community. In 2025, our staff volunteered 6,895 hours of time. Without the services provided by vim, our patients would have no choice but to seek care in much more expensive locations, such as emergency rooms.

The verdict
STRONG - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of total spending goes to programs. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and program spending has declined or grown slowly.
