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.


In the last year, 2009, the Clinic has experienced a 30% growth in patient visits. Many have lost jobs due to the economy or have been denied coverage due to pre-existing conditions. Our clinic sees approximately 50 patients per day and more during the cold and flu season. We are very thankful to many volunteers who allow our clinic to operate on a budget of approximately $150,000 per year with 2 full time and 3 part time employees; utilizing over 50 volunteers from the community;

DeAnne Staheli, APRN
Clinic Director

I would like to take this opportunity to thank all of our donors for their financial support during this last year. The Doctors' Volunteer Clinic is steadily growing, having had approximately [ADD] had 12,000 patients in the year 2009, over 1,000 patients a month. The economic crisis has not been more noticeable than than here at the Volunteer Clinic. With many patients who have recently lost their job and insurance, the Clinic is needed more than ever.

The extra burden of healthcare costs makes it difficult for most to let their health be a priority. With the access to affordable healthcare that the clinic provides, these patients are now able to seek treatment for their acute illnesses along with chronic disease problems. It is a thousand times a day that I am thankful for the community members that make this clinic possible as I see a child with pneumonia, or strep throat, or the many other illnesses they come in with, get treatment and start to feel better, knowing there is a possibility the parents would not have sought treatment due to the cost.

As much as we are able to help, we depend on the community for the donations that allow us to operate. Our Clinic receives no federal funding and thrives on grants from United Way and Intermountain Healthcare along with the Utah Medical Association. Private donations have been decreasing as our numbers have been increasing, also another sign of the economy crisis. I would like to encourage the community to donate as they are able, every dollar helps us buy the necessary supplies and run the Clinic. We have 1 full time employee and 3 part time employees, along with 40 volunteers. This allows us to utilize the donations for patient care and supplies. All donation are tax deductible.

Thanks to the many volunteers and community donations, the Doctors' Volunteer Clinic can do its part in making healthcare a right, not a privilege.
