Program areas at Volunteers in Medicine-Berkshires

See schedule owhat we doat Volunteers in medicine (vim) berkshires, we provide access to free, comprehensive health care for those in the berkshire region who are income qualified and ineligible for health insurance. We envision a society in which everyone has an equal opportunity to achieve good health. Vim berkshires' services include: comprehensive medical and restorative dental care, behavioral health services, optometry, nutrition counseling, exercise therapy, therapeutic massage, acupuncture, non-opioid pain management, and social and legal services. Who we servemore than 95% of vim berkshire's medical patients are minority immigrants, and this percentage continues to grow along with the changing demographics of our region.to qualify for services at vim berkshires, patients must not earn more than 300% of the poverty level. None of our patients qualify for masshealth, and many also require assistance wth housing, food insecurity, education, and other non-clinical services.how we worka team of volunteer medical doctors, nurses, and nurse practitioners provide basic primary care and referrals to treatment of complicated urgent and acute issues. Volunteer dentists, hygienists, and dental assistants are comprised of in-practice and retired practitioners. Behavorial health services are provided by volunteer psychiatrists, licensed therapists, social workers, and psychologists. Vim berkshires also coordinates services and helps patients navigate our local healthcare system. At least half of vim berkshires' staff and many of its Volunteers, including all of its community health workers, are immigrants, representing the countries and cultures of our patients. This allows vim berkshires to establish an atmosphere of trust and understanding that is unique among healthcare providers.a holistic approach to healthstudies from the robert wood johnson foundation and other medical and academic institutions have shown that social determinants of health, i.e., the conditions in which people live, learn, work and play, determine approximately 80% of a person's overall health. Every patient is carefully screened to assess any barriers to good health such as housing, food insecurity, unemployment, and then referred to partner organizations. This is treated as a fully integrated component of our patients' healthcare.vim expansion: meet growing patient needin 2024, vim launched a second health care center in pittsfield. The number of patients coming from pittsfield has tripled since 2019 and the financial and logistical cost of trave to great barrington is often a barrier for our patients. A pittsfield center healthcare center will have an immediate impact in the region.and will make it easier for north county patients to access our services.vim careworks campaignin 2023, vim launched the careworks capital campaign - a $10 million initiative - to build our new healthcare center in pittsfied and rennovate our great barrington location. The careworks campaign is also designed to sustain our work for years to come. Vim has already raised more than half of the $10 million goal.vim impactvim treats more than 1700 patients and every year our patient population increases significantly. Our staff works with 170 Volunteers who donate 10,000 hours of their time. We collaborate wth more than 30 agencies across the region, making hundreds of referrals to help with social services and costs. We avoid 92% of the exepected hospital visits for our patient population. Our services help keep hospital emergency rooms available for patients who truly need them. According to the healthcare research institute and the agency for research healthcare and quality, vim saves $2.2 million in unecessary emergency room visits and hospitalizations and 3.1 million savings to community through our social determinants of health program.
