Virginia Health Care Foundation

Many Virginia communities do not have enough providers to care for all of those in need. In these underserved areas of state, those Virginians needing health, dental or behavioral health services go without treatment or travel long distances to get needed health services.

One way the Foundation is increasing access to care for uninsured and medically-underserved Virginians is by helping increase the number of providers in the Commonwealth through:

• Grants to help increase health care availability for people living in underserved areas.
• Dental Access initiatives that help Virginians receive the dental care they need and otherwise couldn’t get.
• Medication Access programs to help Virginians across the Commonwealth obtain lifesaving prescription medications.
• Health Insurance Initiatives that help eligible, uninsured Virginians enroll in the state-sponsored health insurance programs.
• Psych NP Scholarships which pay tuition and fees for nurse practitioners to obtain a post-Master’s Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner Certificate.

The Virginia Health Care Foundation and its partners are dedicated to making access to health care available to all Virginians.
