This week, AFC CEO Lesley Daigle, Board Chair Tracy Donley, and volunteer physician Dr. Stuart Henochowicz joined the Virginia Association of Free & Charitable Clinics and nonprofit partners from across Virginia to advocate for increased support for free clinics. As healthcare costs continue to rise and community needs grow, Virginia's free and charitable clinics play a critical role in the healthcare safety net, ensuring access to care for those who need it most.

Thank you to our partners and advocates for standing with us, including AFC board member and State Delegate Patrick Hope, and everyone working to strengthen access to care across Virginia.

As 2025 comes to a close, we are deeply grateful for the generosity of our community. Thanks to the support of our volunteers, donors, and partners, Arlington Free Clinic provided nearly 10,000 patient visits to over 1,600 adults, delivering timely treatment and dignity for our neighbors who would have otherwise lacked access to comprehensive healthcare.

There is still time to support this vital work before the end of the year! Today is the last day to make a 2025 tax-deductible gift to AFC. If you've already given this year, we thank you. If not, your year-end donation will help us continue meeting our patients’ complex medical needs amid rising costs and a changing healthcare landscape.
