Free and charitable clinics, community health centers, and other similar organizations make up Virginia’s health safety net. They provide free or reduced cost health care services.

Health safety net organizations are located in many Virginia communities. All provide medical care and access to needed prescription medicines. Some offer dental and or behavioral health services, too. Each has its own eligibility guidelines. Call your local health safety net organization or visit its website for more information.
