ALTHOUGH VIM WILL ALWAYS BE THERE TO TREAT OUR PATIENTS' CRITICAL NEEDS. WE ARE CURRENTLY IMPLEMENTING A COMPREHENSIVE WELLNESS AND PREVENTATIVE CARE PROGRAM FOR VIM PATIENTS.RESEARCH CONFIRMS THAT THE BURDEN OF CHRONIC DISEASE IS CONCENTRATED WITHIN LOW INCOME PATIENTS SUCH AS THOSE WHO RELY ON VIM FOR THEIR HEALTHCARE NEEDS. FURTHERMORE, CHRONIC DISEASE AND POVERTY OFTEN INITIATE A VICIOUS CYCLE AS THE COMBINATION OF BOTH INSTIGATES A DOWNWARD SPIRAL OF WORSENING POVERTY AND DISEASE.
