About Us

Founded in 1993 and headquartered in Richmond, the Virginia Association of Free and Charitable Clinics (VAFCC) is a unifying voice and effective advocate for the issues and concerns of Virginia's free and charitable clinics, their volunteer workforce of doctors, dentists, nurses, therapists, pharmacists, technicians, and other health care professionals, and the patients they serve. 

We believe that every person deserves access to basic healthcare services, therefore, the VAFCC champions Virginia’s network of free and charitable clinics who serve those that fall through the gaps of the healthcare system with compassionate and comprehensive healthcare services regardless of their ability to pay.

VAFCC has been leading the healthcare safety net in Virginia for more than 30 years by bringing healthcare leaders, professionals, community members, and stakeholders together to partner in support of our mission so Virginia’s underserved have access to comprehensive, quality health care.
