Established with the profound belief that everyone deserves access to healthcare, FCCV is dedicated to providing high-quality, compassionate, and comprehensive medical, dental, pharmacy, behavioral health, and health education services. Their primary focus is on serving uninsured and underinsured adults in Central Virginia whose incomes are typically below 250% of the Federal Poverty Level. The clinic offers a wide range of services including comprehensive primary medical care, specialty medical services (such as dermatology, endocrinology, gynecology, and ophthalmology during monthly clinics), and referrals to other free or reduced-cost medical specialists. For dental care, they provide basic services like restorations (fillings), extractions, X-rays, and examinations, often with the assistance of fourth-year dental students from Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU) and Howard University under the supervision of volunteer dentists. The FCCV also runs an innovative "MedsHelp" program, assisting low-income patients in applying for pharmaceutical companies' Patient Assistance Programs to obtain prescription medications at no cost. The Free Clinic of Central Virginia operates through the immense dedication of a diverse network of volunteers, including healthcare professionals, students, and community members, who contribute thousands of hours annually. Their commitment ensures the clinic can fulfill its mission to provide essential healthcare to those who lack the financial resources to obtain it, fostering healing and hope within the community. The clinic actively seeks to expand its impact through various programs and community partnerships. Patient testimonials consistently highlight the caring, professional, and knowledgeable staff, praising the quality of care and the clinic's vital role for those without insurance.
