Welcome to the VCCU!

Welcome to the home page for the Vermont Coalition of Clinics for the Uninsured (VCCU).  Formed in 1995, the VCCU is a group of nine free primary health care clinics and two dental clinics. The clinics meet quarterly to address common issues and problems. Each clinic also collects patient and visit data that is pooled annually to evaluate how they serve the health care needs across Vermont. In addition, the VCCU has developed software for such data collection, and this software available to other free clinics and can easily be adapted.

The VCCU clinics are dedicated to providing health care to the uninsured or underinsured whose household incomes fall below 200% of the federal poverty line.  The following figures (for the year 2008) determine if one is eligible for such care:

Family Size Monthly Income Yearly Income
1 $ 1,733 $ 20,796
2 $ 2,333 $ 27,996
3 $ 2,933 $ 35,196
4 $ 3,533 $ 42,396
5 $ 4,133 $ 49,596
6 $ 4,733 $ 56,796
7 $ 5,333 $ 63,996
8 $ 5,933 $ 71,196

The clinics are supported by local fund raising, patient donations, private foundations and the State of Vermont.  If you would like to get more information about the VCCU or make a donation, please contact:
