Nonprofit Overview
Causes: Community Clinics, Community Health Systems, Health, Hospitals
Mission: The Charlottesville Free Clinic's mission is to: 1. Provide a volunteer community health support system that offers high-quality health care to the working uninsured and underinsured population, which would otherwise have limited access to care. 2. Provide practical experience for current and future health care professionals. 3. Hasten, through education and advocacy, the creation of a comprehensive policy for access to health care. Our values include: 1. Health care (including prevention and education), which is prompt, expert and efficacious. 2. Delivery of such care with emphasis on compassion, sensitivity, confidentiality and integrity. 3. Advocacy for a better system of health care for all, eventually eliminating the need for free clinics.
Programs: The Charlottesville Free Clinic, one of the only health safety nets in our area, serves more than 2,600 un-insured and under-insured persons in the greater Charlottesville community. The Free Clinic engages more than 400 volunteer health care professionals from area organizations like UVA and Sentara Martha Jefferson to provide free medical care, mental health support and dental services. The Free Clinic also operates a no-cost pharmacy that provides more than 27,000 lifesaving prescriptions to clinic patients every year. To learn more, visit www.cvillefreeclinic.org .
