Our Mission:
The
purpose of the Fauquier Free Clinic is to provide primary health care
to uninsured individuals and families residing in Fauquier and Rappahannock
counties with a special effort to include all children.
Program
Description:
Volunteer doctors, dentists,
nurses, and administrators keep the clinic in operation. We provide
health care to uninsured residents of Fauquier and Rappahannock Counties,
mostly working poor families who earn a little too much to qualify for
federal assistance. The need is tremendous: we have seen over 22,000
patients since we opened our doors.
