If you head to the Bergen Volunteer Medical Initiative homepage, you will notice a statement that goes right to the heart of this non-profit organization. It asserts that healthcare is a right, not a privilege. BVMI delivers free healthcare to the working uninsured in Bergen County. It’s an organization that has been improving lives for 15 years through primary, preventative, chronic, urgent care, lab work, specialist care, case management services, and mental health treatment administered by staff and volunteer practitioners.
