Staff & Board

At VIM, everyone works together.

Our volunteers are supported by twenty-one staff members—nurses, dentists, office managers, and community health workers—and an engaged board of trustees.

The culture of love and trust we create for our patients starts with the way we care for each other. The energy of our volunteers and the inspiration of our patients uplift and uphold us.
