Founded in 1993, the Virginia Association of Free Clinics (VAFC) is the nation's oldest Free Clinic association. We are a private, nonprofit membership organization that provides training and technical assistance, research, resource development and advocacy to Free Clinics throughout the Commonwealth of Virginia. The VAFC represents and supports Virginia's network of 59 Free Clinics, which are one of Virginia's largest providers of health care to the uninsured.

The mission of the VAFC is to support, strengthen, and advocate for our member clinics as they deliver quality health care to Virginia’s low-income, uninsured and underinsured residents.

The vision of VAFC is a Virginia where the health care needs of the low-income, uninsured and underinsured are met by free clinics as a vital part of Virginia’s health care safety network.
