History
In 1998, the Washington County Medical Association, with Dr. Paul Doxey as President, organized several local community agencies in an effort to give back to the 20 percent of Washington County residents who were uninsured and unable to afford healthcare. With a donation from the Washington County Medical Alliance, and the help of two retired volunteer physicians, the clinic saw more than 3,000 patient visits that first year. The Boots Cox family generously donated land and the Southern Utah Home Builders Association (SUBHA) offered to build a facility with donated labor. Local building suppliers helped immensely and provided a mamajority of the materials free of charge. The clinic operated out of that 3,000 square foot building until 2010 when the nation's economic crisis created a burgeoning population of patients, as many lost their jobs and health insurance.
Specialties
The Doctors' Volunteer Clinic is a non-profit, non-government healthcare organization that provides access to affordable healthcare services for the uninsured and low-income in Southern Utah by acting as a safety net of services that include primary medical care, mental health services, and dental care. To qualify for services, you must be without Medicaid, Medicare or health insurance. We request a donation of $10 for services.
