Since 1986, the Free Medical Clinic of Northern Shenandoah Valley, Inc. has been providing quality health care services to the uninsured and low-income individuals and families in our community who have no means to access the care they need. We provide access to life-saving health care services and medications to eligible residents of Winchester, Frederick County and Clarke County, Virginia. We are able to provide a range of services to meet our patients’ needs thanks to the generous support of our community and our volunteers.

Patients are seen by appointment only. Patients must be screened for eligibility prior to scheduling an appointment. Click here to learn more about becoming a patient.

OUR MISSION is to provide the gift of health to those in need. The Free Medical Clinic is dedicated to the belief that everyone should have access to health care services.

• The Free Medical Clinic began offering services on October 23, 1986 from the basement of the First Presbyterian Church in Winchester.  On our first night of operation we helped 14 patients.
