Celebrating 25 Years of Care, Community, and Compassion

For 25 years, Lakeland Volunteers in Medicine has been redefining what access to healthcare looks like in Polk County. What started as a bold idea has grown into a community-powered clinic providing compassionate, high-quality care at no cost to our patients.

This year, we’re not just celebrating a milestone, we’re honoring the people who made it possible and inviting our community to help shape what comes next.

Ways to Celebrate With Us

All year long, we’ll be celebrating 25 years in ways both big and small. Whether you’ve been part of LVIM since the beginning or are just discovering us, there’s a place for you in this milestone year.

From special events and campaigns to stories from the people who make LVIM possible, this page is your go-to spot for everything related to our 25th year.

Why 25 Years Matters

LVIM’s story has always been about people—patients, volunteers, donors, partners, and advocates—coming together to care for one another.

Over the past 25 years:

  • Thousands of patients have received life-changing care
  • Volunteers have given countless hours with open hearts
  • Donors and partners have turned generosity into impact

This anniversary is a moment to reflect on how far we’ve come, and to look ahead to the future we’re building together!
