Description

The Free Clinic seeks to improve health and promote wellness by providing quality healthcare to eligible adults in Culpeper through a collaboration of community resources. One of our goals is the promotion of preventative practices and healthy habits to avoid acute and chronic medical concerns. We believe our services have positive outcomes such as, decreasing Emergency room visits, hospitalizations and the burden on local health care resources, as well as keeping people productive in the community.

Often our patients are the community’s most vulnerable members, and express an incredible amount of gratitude for the clinics services.

If you have a few hours to give and would like to help in our mission….The Free Clinic is looking for volunteer Providers (MD, PA, NP) who can help us weekly, monthly, or quarterly and for as many hours as works for their schedule.  The Clinic has a simple volunteer application that includes a background check.  A copy of the provider’s or nurse’s license is also required. Liability coverage is provided through VA Risk (Civitas) while volunteering at the clinic.

We need volunteers Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday’s from 9am-4pm.  There is lots of flexibility! We also have clinic hours the first and third Thursdays of the month from 5-7pm.
