Since 1992, Anthem Blue Cross and Blue
Shield has provided more than $8 million in financial support to Virginia’s
Free Clinics. Anthem has also recognized the importance of supporting the
VAFC in its efforts to build a strong and vibrant network of Free Clinics
across the Commonwealth. In addition to its monetary contributions, the
company has generously committed volunteer and in-kind resources that have
boosted the work and visibility of Free Clinics and the VAFC.

With grants totaling more than $4.7 million
since its founding in 1992, the Virginia Health Care Foundation has been
instrumental in supporting the expansion of Free Clinic service capacity
across Virginia. The VAFC was the recipient of a Free
Clinic Accreditation System grant which enabled the Free Clinics to create
new operating standards and continue to improve patient care delivery.
This grant followed an Organizational Capacity Building grant that
supported Free Clinics in long-term planning.

Thanks to state general funds appropriated
by the Virginia General Assembly each year, the Virginia Department of
Health contracts with the VAFC for the provision of prescription
medications and pharmacy services to low-income, uninsured patients of
the Free Clinics. Currently, the appropriation stands at
$1,321,400. Through the years, this public/private partnership has
become an outstanding success story in pharmaceutical access for
Virginia’s uninsured. In addition, the General Assembly is providing
$175,000 in operating support for the 2008 Fiscal year. These funds are
divided equally among the member clinics.

The Virginia Association of Health Plans
provides significant funding each year to sponsor the VAFC Annual
Conference – the premier educational and networking event for Virginia’s
Free Clinics. In addition to its conference funding, the VAHP
plays a pivotal role in advocating for public policies that support and
strengthen Free Clinics in the Commonwealth.

Recognizing the critical role that
physicians play in Free Clinics, the MSV Foundation served as a catalyst
in the creation of the Free Clinic Medical Directors Council, now a
special interest section of the VAFC. Since its establishment, the
council has provided a forum for Free Clinic volunteer physicians to
share successes and challenges encountered in delivering quality health
care to uninsured Virginians.

Due in large part to the generosity of many
of PhRMA’s member drug companies, Virginia’s Free Clinics were able to
provide $41 million of prescription medications to their patients in
need in 2004. Approximately $39 million (or 95%) of the drugs were
acquired by Free Clinics through the free drug programs administered by
these brand name drug manufacturers.
