At the heart of Centre Volunteers in Medicine is our extraordinary volunteer model, which drives everything we do. Our volunteers are the backbone of our organization, making it possible to provide high-quality, compassionate healthcare to those who need it most. Last year alone, more than 325 dedicated volunteers generously gave over 13,500 hours of their time and expertise. This tremendous contribution allows every dollar we receive to stretch further, ensuring we can serve more patients and offer more services.

CVIM’s volunteer-driven model is what sets us apart. From physicians and nurses to administrative support and event organizers, our volunteers come from all walks of life, united by a shared mission to give back to their community. Their commitment enables us to provide medical and dental care, behavioral health services, case management, and medication access. It ensures that our services remain free to those who need them most.

Each volunteer hour translates into tangible care for our patients, whether it’s through hands-on medical services, behind-the-scenes operational support, or community outreach efforts. Their time and expertise amplify the impact of every donation, helping us provide more comprehensive care while minimizing operational costs. At CVIM, we believe that healthcare is a community effort, and our volunteers embody that belief.
