The most frequent conditions for illnesses such as: diabetes, depression, high blood pressure, anxiety, and high cholesterol.CVIM also offers a Well-Woman's Health program. Dental Clinic Services:Dental care is hard to come by in Centre County, even if you have insurance. Many of the patients in our dental clinic have not been able to obtain or afford dental care for years, and several visits are needed to regain good oral health. The services most provided at CVIM are: Emergency evaluations for patients experiencing pain or swelling, extractions, restorative care, basic dental hygiene cleanings, specialty and diagnostic referrals. Even though CVIM has a waiting list for dental patients, we see emergencies as soon as possible. Case Management: At CVIM, we understand that basic needs such as housing, heat and food are important to your health. We offer case management services to anyone in the county to help them access other services and enroll in benefit programs.Medication Assistance: Managing a chronic illness or treating an acute condition often requires medications. CVIM is able to provide most medicines to our patients at no cost. We obtain medications for them by:Processing patient applications to "Indigent Drug Programs" offered by pharmaceutical companiesPurchasing bulk quantities at discounted prices, thanks to the generosity of Mount Nittany HealthPaying for patient scripts at partner pharmacies when the medicine is one not usually available
