The Virginia Mae King Foundation (VMKF) is named after my mother, who died from complications related to dialysis and end stage renal failure. My mother was always a caring and compassionate person, putting others before her own needs. I am so grateful I inherited her spirit by helping people myself. This led to the decision of starting VMKF to help the uninsured and underinsured in underserved communities in need of healthcare services, resources, and consulting for a better quality of life.
As a case manager, patient advocate, patient navigator, consultant, customer service supervisor, medical claims biller, medical claims coder, trainer, and educator, I promote a healthy quality of life for patients by using my 21+ years’ experience working in the healthcare industry. Our foundation helps individuals with chronic health conditions and their caregivers to understand and navigate the challenging healthcare system. We also educate underserved communities, healthcare professionals, medical providers, and businesses with accessing healthcare services to support their patients, clients, and members for better health outcomes.
