Guidance and assistance for this undertaking was provided by the Volunteers in Medicine, the South Carolina Hospital Association, and the South Carolina Free Medical Clinic Association. The Free Clinic is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization. Cash and in-kind contributions are tax deductible under IRS regulations.
