About Us

Since 1993, AFC has been filling the gap in access to medical care for Arlington’s underserved population. We do not receive federal or county funding and continue to be our community’s only free medical safety net for adults. Last year, our team of over 700 volunteers, including 170 physicians, made a significant difference in the lives of over 1,600 individuals and their families. Today’s economy makes our mission more important than ever, with more people losing their jobs and their health insurance. Our goal is to help our patients become and remain as healthy as possible, so they can go to work and take care of their families. When patients get care at AFC, we manage their conditions, keep them out of expensive emergency rooms and minimize health care costs in our community.
