When everyone has access to health care, the whole community thrives.

For individual patients, VIM cares for their health and provides a path to a safe and healthy life.

For patient families, VIM makes sure they have access to social services like safe housing, food security, childcare, and reliable income.

For businesses, VIM keeps hundreds of employees healthy and flourishing, out of the hospital and able to work.

For our community, VIM helps a diverse population integrate with everything the Berkshires has to offer, from employment to education to cultural institutions.

For the greater health care system, VIM prevents patient hospitalization and provides a model for culturally-attuned, whole-person care.
