Establish programs that help the medically underserved receive access to quality health care.

Population(s) Served
Women and girls
Men and boys
Ethnic and racial groups
LGBTQ people

In order to have a healthy America the NAFC organizes and produces educational programs and resources that can be used by providers, clinics and the public. From symposiums, to webinars to educational documents we believe that health education and literacy is critical.

Population(s) Served
Adults

Free and Charitable Clinics are the communities’ response to their health care needs. In times of disaster, Free and Charitable Clinics serve as first responders helping people access health care, medications and supplies that they need. In the event of a disaster, the NAFC reaches out to members in affected areas to offer guidance, assistance and needed resources. We connect clinics to our relief partners Americares, Direct Relief and Heart to Heart International. We coordinate response efforts between NAFC partners, state associations and members to ensure that those in need are able to get assistance in an easy, streamlined manner. In response to past disasters, the NAFC has been able to distribute funding and donated supplies through our various partnerships. For example, $3.5 Million in grants were distributed by NAFC through our partnership with Direct Relief over a two-year period to NAFC members affected by 2017 Hurricanes Harvey & Irma. The NAFC also has a customizable emergency management plan for NAFC members to utilize and has and continues to hold various webinars and educational sessions on emergency preparedness and response.

Charting impact

Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.

Increase Access to affordable quality health care
Reduce Chronic Disease Morbidity and Mortality
Increase Mental Health and Resiliency
Increase Health Equity

Promoting evidence-based practices through our focus areas gives us the best chance of achieving our goals and our mission.

Increased capacity of Free and Charitable Clinics and Pharmacies to provide high quality health services.

Expanded pre-diabetes and diabetes screenings, education, and management

Expanded access to cancer screenings, education, and connections to treatment

Expanded culturally and linguistically appropriate mental health programs

Our 1,4000 Free and Charitable Clinics and Pharmacies, with 200,000 volunteers and staff workforce, provide 6.5 million patient visits to 2 million uninsured people annually. Through our volunteers' dedication and our medical staff's expertise, we are the best to understand the needs of the uninsured and help them get healthier.

The NAFC will provide funding to clinics to expand their programs in the areas above.

The NAFC will provide education and training for our member organizations and their volunters.

The NAFC published an article Entitled "Don't Let Perfect Be the Enemy of Good: A Proof of Concept for a Custom National Data Repository of Quality Measures for Free and Charitable Clinics" https://www.liebertpub.com/doi/10.1089/heq.2022.0078

The National Association of Free and Charitable Clinics has launched a $250,000 cancer screening program for our members.

The NAFC has launched an annual data survey to better understand the needs of the clinics to build training and education programs.
