General Info

The Bergen Volunteer Medical Initiative, Inc, is a volunteer nonprofit organization providing free primary and preventive medical care to low-income working people in Bergen County without insurance or the means to pay for care. BVMI is the only state licensed ambulatory care facility in the county that offers free healthcare for individuals whose income is 100 to 200 percent of the Federal Poverty guidelines and are not eligible for government funded health insurance. Patients are seen by appointment the Center located at 241 Moore Street, Hackensack, NJ. Since opening the center in November 2009, over 75 volunteer physicians, nurse practitioners, nurses, social workers, nutritionists, and others have treated over 450 patients with more than 1100 medical visits. Through early intervention and consistent treatment of patients, BVMI has been able to stabilize chronic conditions, help to decrease infectious disease, and reduce the use of emergency rooms in Bergen County hospitals. The BVMI Healthcare Center is guided by the Culture of Caring philosophy, based on the ethical standard in medicine that was practiced long ago. We believe that how people are treated during a visit to BVMI's Healthcare Center is as important as the medical care they receive. We invite you to learn more about BVMI by browsing our website. We welcome your participation as a volunteer, as a supporter or as a community resident who may need our services. We are committed to improving the overall health of the community by providing access to quality healthcare and your support will help to sustain our mission. BVMI is totally dependent on contributed income from individuals, business, and foundation grants. Tel. [email protected] ( c ) ( 3 ) OrganizationBergen County, New Jersey
