About

Through the Pharmacy Program, Lakeland Volunteers In Medicine (LVIM) improves the health and well-being of Polk County's working uninsured, with a family income not exceeding 200% of the Federal Poverty Guidelines. The majority of LVIM's patients have chronic or multiple chronic conditions that require multiple patient visits as well as multiple prescriptions and if not properly treated complications can lead to hospitalization or event death. LVIM's pharmacy carries an array of generic medications and does not deal in any narcotics whatsoever. Additionally, LVIM coordinates prescription assistance through major pharmaceutical companies in order to meet the need of patients who require name-brand drugs or in cases where there is not a generic option.

Mission Statement

Lakeland Volunteers in Medicine provides FREE, high-quality outpatient medical, dental, and mental health care to the working uninsured of Polk County, in a compassionate manner.
