VIM operates two free health care facilities for residents of Cape May and Atlantic Counties, who have no or limited access to medical insurance. VIM focuses on primary health care, emphasizing disease prevention, health promotion and patient education in easily accessible facilities – with the same dignity and confidentiality afforded in the private sector.
