LVIM provides free high-quality health care, dental care, pharmaceutical and ancillary services to employed but uninsured individuals and their families throughout Polk County, while providing retired physicians, clinicians and professionals opportunities to continue practicing medicine and serving others in a relaxed, caring environment. LVIM’s average cost to provide care for one patient, including the exam and any necessary x-rays, lab work and prescriptions is $43.93 –which is less than half the cost of a visit to a private physician which doesn’t include ancillary services or medication. In addition your donation can provide the following:
$50 provides one diabetic patient the supplies to treat the disease for one month; $575 for one year.
$450 will screen 10 men for prostate cancer.
$800 will screen 10 women for breast cancer.
$1,150 will provide medications for 300 patients for one week - the amount currently not funded.
