Community Health Centers
Community Health Centers (CHCs), also known as Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs) are non-profit, community-based, patient-centered organizations that deliver comprehensive, integrated primary and preventative health care services to everyone in their communities, regardless of their insurance status or ability to pay.
CHCs offer access to primary health, dental, behavioral health, pharmacy, and substance use disorder services in areas with limited access to affordable health care services.
CHCs accept Medicaid, Medicare, private insurances and also offer services to the uninsured on a sliding fee scale based on one’s ability to pay.
Virginia Health Care Foundation
The Virginia Health Care Foundation makes a difference in the lives of countless Virginians every day. A public/private partnership, VHCF helps uninsured Virginians and those who live in underserved communities obtain medical, dental and mental health care. VHCF support helps free clinics, community health centers and a variety of other nonprofit organizations to expand both the types of care offered and the number of patients cared for each year.
