Virginia Health Care Foundation

In 1992, the Virginia General Assembly and its Joint Commission on Health Care initiated the Virginia Health Care Foundation to promote and fund innovative public-private partnerships increasing access to primary care for Virginia’s uninsured and medically underserved.

Nearly 20 years later, VHCF is one of the key elements of the Commonwealth’s strategy to buttress local primary care delivery systems and strengthen the health safety net.

As a public/private partnership, VHCF combines the flexibility and nimble nature of the private sector with the resources and institutional means of the public sector.   This has allowed us to produce a remarkable return on investment.  Since the Foundation’s inception, VHCF has leveraged an average $11 in cash, health services and other in-kind contributions for each dollar expended.

VHCF is proof that public/private partnerships can achieve great results. We are grateful to the Virginia General Assembly, the Governor and our esteemed partners. Working together, VHCF will continue to build and foster partnerships, solidify proven initiatives and launch new endeavors.

VHCF has met the Better Business Bureau’s 20 Standards for Charity Accountability. View VHCF’s 990 at Guidestar or Foundation Center.
