Our healthcare professionals focus on the whole person, addressing the physical, psychological and social needs of the individual and the family.  Culturally competent care is provided by bilingual healthcare professionals, as well as certified health interpreters. In addition, we facilitate access to vital community resources such as food cupboards, shelters, financial assistance, domestic violence and substance abuse programs.

Medical Services

Our physicians, nurses and many specialists strive to provide a medical home, delivering excellent evidence-based medical care.

We offer an extensive array of programs with the goal of our patients taking charge of their own medical conditions.  We aim to work together as a team to achieve healing and good health.

Social Services

A master’s level social worker provides individuals and families with referral services, case management, and supportive counseling. Applications for state benefits, health and human services programs can be submitted on behalf of patients. In collaboration with the medical and dental team, the social worker assures patients’ basic needs are being met to facilitate healthy living and/or appropriate management of chronic illness. CVIM strives to provide holistic care and promote well-being while not duplicating existing services available in the community.

Referrals may include but are not limited to:
