Programs: Victory Health Partners offers a community solution to a community problem. By offering patients general medical care, including laboratory visits, X-rays, EKGs, and counseling, Victory provides a medical safety net to offset a major medical incident. Patients are qualified based on their income and family size. They pay a small co-payment that includes their appointment and any laboratory tests. In addition to primary medical care, Victory offers a Dental Clinic, Medication Dispensary program, Incontinence Clinic, Pulmonary Clinic, Hepatitis C treatment, Wound Care Clinic, Women’s Wellness Exams, MRIs, Minor Surgeries, Urology Clinic, Neurology Clinic, Diabetes Education Program and Respiratory/Sleep Apnea Clinic. The Dispensary Program enables patients to receive all or most of their medications at no charge. The Dental Clinic offers routine cleanings, X-rays, and treatment so patients may maintain their teeth and manage any problems effectively. This is the only clinic at Victory that will serve Medicare and Medicaid patients because not all Medicaid and Medicare patients receive dental services. Beginning in the fall 2011, Victory expanded its services to include an Eye Clinic and a Neurology Clinic. Additional appointments for Women’s Wellness Exams are now available through the service of a second volunteer OB/GYN physician. Victory orders mammograms and PAP smears for its female patients and free colon screenings for those who qualify through a free state program. In its tenth year of service, Victory remains a community initiative. The clinic has an extensive network of 150+ local physicians, dentists, healthcare providers, and hospitals that provide specialized care in their own offices when needed.
