Welcome to BVMI!  We have opened our Doors!

 

 

 

With a population of over 900,000 and a high median household income of $65,600, Bergen County, New Jersey, ranks among the ten most prosperous counties in the United States. Yet 13% of Bergen residents live below 200% of the federal poverty level which for a family of four is $44,100.

Many of our neighbors are hard-working individuals and families who do not have and cannot afford health insurance or healthcare. In fact, more than 85,000 have neither Medicare, Medicaid, Veterans’ nor private insurance.

Approximately 40% of the uninsured are unable to obtain any routine healthcare and more than two thirds do not have a family doctor. As a result, many medical conditions are not treated until a crisis arises. The only recourse becomes a visit to the emergency room of a local hospital - a costly and inefficient use of resources.

The BVMI is a group of local physicians, other healthcare practitioners and concerned citizens who have established a free Healthcare Center in Bergen County. Our volunteers are dedicated to helping our neighbors and improving the overall health of the community.
