Volunteers in Medicine of the Olympics, or VIMO for short, is a volunteer medical, behavioral health and dental clinic in Port Angeles, WA. VIMO is a free clinic, primarily serving low-income and homeless patients living in Clallam and Jefferson counties.
VIMO got its start as the PAARC Clinic, seeing patients one evening a week in a Port Angeles church basement in 2001.
In 2005, renamed Volunteers in Medicine of the Olympics, the clinic moved to a permanent home with two exam rooms, leased from Olympic Medical Center. VIMO moved to its current location in 2014, which includes five medical exam rooms and five dental operatories.
Since this is a sliding fee scale clinic, we have provided the Federal Poverty Guidelines below. Visit the Volunteers in Medicine of the Olympics VIMO website listed above to see what the level is needed for free care.

In those cases, using for example a 200% federal poverty level, you will only need double the 100% number listed above to 200%.
