The VA Free Clinic Assoc is committed to ensuring that underserved populations in Virginia have access to quality healthcare. As a safety-net healthcare organization, they offer a wide range of services to economically disadvantaged individuals, including medical, dental, pharmacy, vision, and behavioral health services. These services are provided by a dedicated team of volunteers and staff members.

Virginia's Free Clinics are 501(c)3 tax-exempt organizations or operate as a program component of a 501(c)3 organization. While some clinics charge a nominal or sliding fee, they still deliver essential services regardless of a patient's ability to pay. In addition to providing medical care, the VA Free Clinic Assoc also addresses the social needs of patients.

They offer primary care, chronic care, specialty care, dental care, pharmaceutical care, vision care, women’s health services, mental health services, health education, case management, care coordination, and various supportive services. By delivering important preventative and chronic care, the clinics help patients stay healthy, reduce unnecessary visits to the emergency room, and minimize missed work due to illness. The VA Free Clinic Assoc has a rich history of serving Virginia's low-income, uninsured populations with compassion, dignity, and respect.

They were instrumental in extending liability coverage to volunteer physicians in the late 1980s, significantly increasing their capacity to care for the underserved. The association was formed to strengthen and support free clinics, becoming the first statewide free clinic association in the nation. With their commitment to advocacy and healthcare safety net, the VA Free Clinic Assoc has played a critical role in the formation of the National Association of Free Clinics.

They also actively lobby for the healthcare needs of vulnerable populations. In recent years, the association has witnessed significant milestones, including the enactment of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act and the expansion of Medicaid in Virginia. They continuously strive to improve access to comprehensive, quality healthcare for all, and they have adapted quickly to the COVID-19 pandemic by implementing telemedicine and other strategies.

By donating or volunteering, you can be part of the VA Free Clinic Assoc's lifesaving investment in the well-being of Virginia's underserved populations. Together, we can work towards a Virginia where everyone has access to the healthcare they need and deserve
