I don't have insurance, so I can't...

Refill my blood pressure medication.

Speak with a counselor.

Afford to see a specialist.

Whatever the case may be, here at Victory we hear our patients define what they can and cannot do because of their lack of health insurance. It is such a blessing to be able to share with them that we can get them their prescriptions at no cost. We can get them into to see a specialist for an affordable cost. And we have counselors that will listen and care for their emotional and spiritual needs for no cost. It is truly because of a community coming together to care for a community, that we can the capacity to meet many of our patients needs. 

85% of Victory's patients have a household income of less than $30,000 and pay a $25 co-pay to see the physician. The actual cost of a visit is $85-$90. 

To see the dentist, Victory patients pay at least $25 less than what it would have cost them at another dental clinic without insurance. 

X-rays without insurance - Beginning at $250
X-rays at Victory - Free

Mammograms without insurance - Average cost $80-$100
Mammograms through Victory - Free

Women's Wellness Exam  without insurance - Average cost $100-$250

Those are just a few examples of the impact the partnerships of Victory are making in the lives of our patients. Thank you to all of the specialists that so sacrificially give of their time and talent to serve our patients. Together, we will turn the 'I can't' into 'I can.'
