Virginia Health Care Foundation

Looking for help getting medical care if you’re uninsured and can’t afford care?
Depending on where you live, there may be help nearby.

Here at the Virginia Health Care Foundation, we don’t provide care — we support the Commonwealth’s health safety net providers, the free clinics and community health centers that DO provide care.

If you need help, see below and contact an organization near you.

Who provides care?

There are more than 60 free and charitable clinics in Virginia and more than 200 community health center locations. These sites help Virginia’s low income and uninsured residents get the care they need to get well and stay well. They also can also help people get free prescription medications, depending on the medicines needed and the patient’s income level.

Are there any other places to go?

Some local health departments provide medical care, as do some community organizations. All Virginia hospitals have financial assistance programs to help people who need care at a hospital (click here to learn about financial assistance at a hospital near you).

The Virginia Department of Health (1-800-533-4148) provides free STD testing for anyone in Virginia, whether they have health insurance or not. To find the STD test sites near you, visit the Virginia Department of Health STD website and enter your zip code.
