AFC has provided free, high-quality healthcare to low-income, uninsured Arlington County adults for more than 25 years, knowing that patients facing cancer, diabetes, or heart disease need treatment. Volunteers conduct appointments, medical reviews, and serve as telephone interpreters while staff screen patients, address mental health needs, and develop crisis response protocols. Dental staff see emergency cases and flex into other roles as needed. Many patients are struggling with access to food, transportation, and other emergency needs so AFC connects them to local resources. AFC will continue meeting the healthcare needs of our community’s most vulnerable neighbors.
