Charting impact
Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.
What is the organization aiming to accomplish?
For nearly two decades, Community Volunteers in Medicine (CVIM) has remained a beacon of hope and provider of healthcare for people in Chester County lacking access to care. There is no single profile of a CVIM patient: people come to CVIM for a variety of reasons. Some utilize CVIM as their ongoing primary healthcare provider and form a long-term trusting relationship with the clinic. Others have a pressing health issue that has become too acute to ignore because it is interfering with their ability to work. Still others rely on CVIM to manage a chronic health problem like diabetes. Some travel great distances with extreme tooth pain and nowhere else to turn. Some CVIM patients utilize the clinic consistently over years, while others come because they have lost their job, and with it their family's health insurance. Against this backdrop of varied, personal stories there is a common thread to every individual that walks into the clinic: each receives the same high quality, compassionate, and personalized attention and care.
What are the organization's key strategies for making this happen?
1. Serve the community need
2. Expand the reach
3. Leverage technology
4. Burnish the brand
5. Strengthen the financial future
What are the organization's capabilities for doing this?
Recognizing the need in the community, 331 licensed clinicians and professional support volunteers donated 38,362 hours of time and talent in 2023. Staff and volunteers are working together to serve a diverse population through enhanced in-community work and expanded clinic hours.
What have they accomplished so far and what's next?
We are increasing services a couple days a week at satellite locations (medical and dental) with local partnerships across Chester County, PA. Current locations include Avondale, PA, West Grove, PA, Devon, PA and soon Coatesville, PA.
