The Free Clinic is the only safety net provider for the uninsured and low-income residents in the community.
We treat the whole patient by providing a combination of care that addresses not only primary care needs but also chronic and specialty care, medication counseling, behavioral and women’s health, case management and health education. We now offer dentistry in-house as well.
With more than a decade of commitment to the health of our community, the Clinic is dedicated to building a healthier community one person at a time. As a free and charitable clinic, the Free Clinic of Powhatan is a unified partner in the effort to improve healthcare access across Virginia by providing a smart, affordable, and high-quality alternative for those who lack health insurance. #FreeClinicsCare
