The Victory Story

Dr. Robert D. Lightfoot and his wife, Tami, were inspired to establish affordable and high-quality adult primary care in their community after taking part in numerous mission trips to Central and South America, where they provided health care. What initially started as an act of faith by one physician and his wife has now evolved into a partnership involving hundreds of volunteers, medical providers, and churches, all motivated by their belief in God's call to assist those needing medical care. Starting in January 2003, Victory Health Partners, under the leadership of Dr. Robert D. Lightfoot, began treating patients. The organization is supported by a dedicated team of business and healthcare professionals, as well as around sixty to seventy volunteers who help with the day-to-day operations at the clinic, which offers healthcare services for uninsured adults. Additionally, a network of over 160 physicians and dentists generously donate their services to our patients at little or no cost, providing treatment in their own offices. Furthermore, thanks to the kindness of Mobile Infirmary, we are able to lease our building for only $1 per year.

Though based in Mobile, Alabama, Victory patients come from over 25 counties in Alabama, 11 in Mississippi, and eight in Northwest Florida. Our patient numbers have increased steadily, and we look forward to expanding our services and bringing more partners on board to help the low-income uninsured of this area.

With the help and financial support of our partners, Victory serves those who "fall through the cracks" in our medical system. We are always seeking ways to form more partnerships with physicians, churches, businesses, civic organizations, and other interested individuals. The support of our partners is essential to our success in meeting our mission to minister to the physical, emotional, and spiritual needs of the medically underserved.
