Founded in 1993, the Virginia Association of Free & Charitable Clinics (VAFCC) is the nation's oldest Free Clinic association. Based in Richmond, Virginia, it operates as a private nonprofit membership organization that provides training and technical assistance, research, resource development and advocacy to Free Clinics across the Commonwealth. It supports Virginia's network of 57 Free Clinics, which are among the state's largest providers of health care to the uninsured. As a coordinating body within the nonprofit health services sector, VAFCC works to strengthen Free Clinics so they can expand access to care for uninsured residents. The organization is a small to mid-sized nonprofit that engages in capacity-building activities, including training, research, and advocacy. A notable development in 2022 was a partnership with the Virginia Telehealth Network, reflecting collaboration to advance telehealth within the clinic network.
