UVA Health has honored the exceptional service of its physicians to the community by donating $10,000 to the Free Clinic of Culpeper. The clinic, a part of the nonprofit Culpeper Wellness Foundation, provides essential healthcare services to uninsured individuals and those who cannot afford medical care. The clinic collaborates with local partners to offer patients access to other critical services like counseling, transportation assistance, literacy training, employment support, and nutrition counseling.
The dedicated staff at the Free Clinic of Culpeper is supported by a team of community volunteers, including physicians, nurse practitioners, pharmacists, and office staff. The clinic is situated on the UVA Health Culpeper Medical Center campus and benefits from UVA Health’s collaboration by receiving lab work, imaging services, and specialty care for patients in need.
Donna Staton, Chief Operating Officer of UVA Community Health and Chief Operating Officer of UVA Health Culpeper Medical Center expressed gratitude for the dedicated doctors who serve patients in Culpeper and beyond. She noted that this donation serves as a token of appreciation for their tireless efforts. Tammy LaGraffe, Director of the Free Clinic of Culpeper expressed deep gratitude for UVA Health’s ongoing support of the clinic and its patients. She noted that this donation reflects UVA Health’s commitment to the clinic’s mission and their role as steadfast partners in the health and well-being of Culpeper.
