• Arlington Free Clinic is the only clinic in Arlington County that provides comprehensive medical care, including diagnostic testing and medications, to the county’s low-income uninsured residents.
• Today’s economy makes our mission more important than ever with more people losing their jobs and their health insurance. When patients get care here, we help them manage their conditions, keep them out of expensive emergency rooms, and better control health care spending.
• In just the past year, the number of people seeking care at AFC has more than doubled.
• Untreated health conditions are a serious problem not only for the uninsured but for the entire Arlington community.

How AFC is Funded and Funding Priorities

Current Funding Priority: Funds for General Operating Support

• AFC relies almost entirely on private donations to fund the $2.2M operations budget. We receive no county or federal funding and less than 2% of the budget from Virginia for pharmaceutical needs.
• It is through the generosity of community residents, businesses, churches, civic associations and foundations that we are able to fund the care we provide.
