The Clackamas Free Clinic: Clackamas Volunteers in Medicine (CVIM or CFC) is a volunteer-driven, nonprofit clinic that provides healthcare and vision services to uninsured or underinsured adults. CVIM was founded in 2011 by a group of Oregon City residents and opened its doors in 2012. CVIM does not bill insurance or charge patients for the care they receive. CVIM is entirely community supported by grants and local donations. Services are provided primarily through the labor of volunteer doctors, nurses, scribes, interpreters, office staff phlebotomists, etc.
The typical CVIM patient is an adult supporting a family and working several low-wage jobs. Our patients are often over-income for the Oregon Health Plan but living paycheck to paycheck. They come to us with progressively serious chronic conditions like hypertension and diabetes. Before finding our clinic our patients have had to make difficult choices when it comes to their own healthcare, such as between paying rent, feeding their families or visiting the doctor.
