Over 30,000 people from our community have received services from the Doctors' Volunteer Clinic since its opening in 1999. Many of these patients are children with contagious upper respiratory infections and fevers for whom medication is necessary and yet for some unobtainable.

health of communities and greatly benefit the communities they serve."

The Doctors' Volunteer Clinic of St. George is a private, non-profit, community-based health care clinic operating solely on donations and grants.

Our mission is to provide quality medical care with respect, commitment and compassion to the children and adults in our community who are uninsured, homeless, or living in poverty.

Our vision is to provide access to quality health care and preventative education as we assist our patients with the management of their health care needs.

HOW WE SERVE OUR COMMUNITY

By treating illness in the schools and the work-place, the health of the community as a whole is improved. Fewer non-urgent emergency room visits by uninsured patients decreases hospital costs.

The more efficient utilization of community agencies is achieved through collaborative efforts.

We provide opportunities for local nursing schools to partner in meeting the volunteer needs of the students.There is less of a drain on local hospital resources due to early preventative and diagnostic care.

HOW THE CLINIC WAS FOUNDED

The Washington County Medical Society, with Paul Doxey as President, organized a combined effort with other community agencies to respond to the question of how to provide affordable access to healthcare for the 18% of people in our community without health insurance or the ability to pay physician fees.

The Dixie Care and Share generously offered its small 5 room house, and the clinic occupied the kitchen and a converted exam room. It wasn't too long before we overwhelmed their small space and we began looking for a building. It is only because of the generosity of this community that the Clinic has been able to continue growing and providing services. A local family, the Boots Cox family, heard of the need and donated land to the Clinic. It was then that the local homebuilders association, SUHBA, took the project and built a 3000 square foot building with donated supplies and labor. It is this building where we now reside and because of which that we are able to meet the demand of providing services to over 700 patients per month.
