Meet Josee Brandstetter, RN, one of VIM Cascades’ invaluable volunteer nurses! Josee first joined the VIM Cascades family after serving at local COVID mass vaccination clinics, where her love for community service truly took root. Today, she serves as a clinical nurse, supporting new patient intake, triage, and even handling laundry duties with heart and humor!

Josee describes the VIM Cascades team as her “second family,” united by compassion and pride in providing exceptional care to uninsured patients. One of her favorite memories is seeing a patient, once filled with anxiety, leave feeling deeply reassured, giving her a hug of gratitude reminding her why this work matters. Outside the clinic, Josee enjoys Bend’s great outdoors, cooking, reading, and visiting her grandchildren in Alaska and Tennessee. Fun fact: she makes the best dairy-free and vegan pecan squares!

Thank you, Josee, for your dedication and service to VIM Cascades patients!

Central Oregon, you showed up for your neighbors!

Thanks to your generosity through Central Oregon Gives, VIM Cascades raised $5,091 to support free, compassionate healthcare and prescriptions for low-income, uninsured working adults in our community.

At VIM Cascades, $284 covers a full month of care for one patient.
That means your Central Oregon Gives gifts will provide one month of care for up to 18 uninsured neighbors who would otherwise go without essential healthcare.

But the need for care doesn’t end when the giving season does.
Our patients rely on VIM Cascades all year long.
That’s why we’re inviting you to join our monthly giving circle,
our 💜Community of Care💜 in 2026.

When you give $284 a month, you make sure one uninsured neighbor has ongoing access to primary and specialty care, medications, and support all year long.

CARE FOR THE WORKING & UNINSURED

Volunteers in Medicine (VIM) Clinic of the Cascades provides healthcare on a donation basis to working adults in Central Oregon with no medical insurance or means to pay for care.

We use a community approach, where around 300 in-clinic volunteers and over 300 local medical partners collaborate to provide patients with necessary primary and specialty medical care, prescription medications, mental health care, and/or basic dental care.

VIM's patients are 19 years of age or older. The majority have one or more chronic conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, high cholesterol, or mental health diagnoses. All of these conditions are manageable with medical oversight and access to care.

This is where we come in. At VIM, patient costs of about $100 per month are funded by patient donations along with local and regional supporters. We do not receive payment from patients or insurers, nor do we receive government support.
