Virginia Health Care Foundation

Free and Charitable Clinics 

Here at the Virginia Health Care Foundation, we DO NOT provide healthcare services. We work with and support the free and charitable clinics and community health centers that DO provide care.

Free and charitable clinics provide low-income, uninsured Virginians with free or low-cost health services (some also provide dental or mental health care). To find a free or charitable clinic, check out the Virginia Association of Free and Charitable Clinic website.

Free and charitable clinics depend on the generosity of volunteer physicians, nurses, dentists and other health professionals. They also rely on community support, and benefit from grants from foundations like the Virginia Health Care Foundation to help them expand services and care for more patients. They do not receive federal or state funding.

What kind of care can I get at a Free and Charitable Clinic? 

All of Virginia’s free and charitable clinics provide basic health care services and help patients get free or low-cost prescription medications. Some also provide dental services and/or mental health care.

How do I know if I am eligible to receive care at a Free and Charitable Clinic?

Each clinic sets its own income eligibility requirements. Depending on the clinic, patients may earn up to 200% to 300% of the Federal Poverty Level (FPL).

• 200% FPL is an income of $2510 for a single person or $5200 for a family of 4 (2024).
• 300% FPL is an income of $3137.50 for a single person or $7150 for a family of 4 (2024).

Contact your local free and charitable clinic to to find out of it is accepting new patients, and, to learn about its eligibility requirements.
