On December 9, 2009 a group practicing physicians, medical center and hospital professionals, and concerned citizens, gathered at the home of a prominent Lee County orthopedic surgeon. They listened intently to a presentation from the founding doctor of a VIM clinic in Port Charlotte FL.  It didn't take long for the gathering to become committed to the idea of starting a clinic in Lee County. 

Subsequent meetings have resulted in the forming of the initial Board of Directors, the filing of a not-for-profit Florida Corporation, and the submission to the Federal government for a 501 (c) 3 Federal tax exempt status.  The planning has more than just started, as a search for an executive director has begun, financial funding and underwriting of operations are beginning to take shape and clinic locations are being reviewed.

Under the capable tutelage of the Port Charlotte VIM Clinic, Lee County VIM Clinic is in good hands.  They're sharing their success with us, to ensure we are not only pointed in the right direction, but they are offering "hands on" assistance with selecting of our Executive Director, setting up our organization operational manuals, and attending to every detail it takes to lead to success.

The Board has expanded by adding a number of resource individuals offering a plethora of skills and expertise to the organization.  Meeting monthly, the Board continues to move toward the final goal of the opening day at the new Lee County VIM Clinic.

History has been written.
