Free Clinic of the Twin Counties

The Free Clinic of the Twin Counties, located at 140 Larkspur Ln Suite C, Galax, VA 24333, is a vital non-profit organization serving the healthcare needs of low-income and uninsured residents in Carroll and Grayson counties, as well as the City of Galax, Virginia. Established with a mission to improve healthcare access, the clinic emphasizes community collaboration and relies heavily on the generosity of a network of voluntary healthcare providers and donors. The clinic offers essential medical services, primarily focusing on primary care and chronic disease management. While it aims to provide comprehensive care, specific services may include general medical appointments, prescription assistance, and potentially referrals to specialty care when available through their network of volunteer specialists. Patients seeking care must meet specific eligibility criteria, including proving low-income status, residency in the designated service area (Carroll, Grayson, or City of Galax for a minimum of six months), and being completely uninsured (no Medicaid, Medicare, or Veteran's benefits). There is typically an administrative fee for new patients, and proof of income, residency, and photo ID are required for intake. The Free Clinic of the Twin Counties operates primarily through appointments, with new patient intake typically held on specific days and times. The clinic's commitment to its community is evident in its long-standing service, providing a crucial healthcare safety net for those who would otherwise lack access to necessary medical attention. Donations are essential for its operation as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, and contributions are tax-deductible, helping to sustain its mission.
