Welcome to the Free Clinic of Rockingham County, Inc.

We invite you to explore our site, find out information about our services and how you may be able to help in our efforts to provide access to quality healthcare to the uninsured and underinsured in our county.

Through the gracious efforts of our volunteer doctors, mid-level providers, dentists, hygienists, nurses, lay volunteers, and our donors, the Free Clinic of Rockingham County is able to expand healthcare access and improve the standard of living in Rockingham County.

COMMUNITY RESOURCE

FCRC is serving as a viable healthcare resource to Rockingham County’s working uninsured. In 2008 we:

Provided nearly 1000 medical and dental visits (operating only 2 evenings per week) valued at $164,983.

Dispensed 4058 prescriptions.

IMPROVING LIVES

92% of FCRC patients surveyed indicated improvements in overall health since coming to The Clinic.

PROVIDING A HOME

Hospitals cannot afford to subsidize ER visits in areas with large numbers of uninsured residents.

The Free Clinic of Rockingham County, Inc. provides a medical home for uninsured,
low-income county residents to receive quality medical and dental care thereby reducing the burden and costs for local hospital emergency rooms.

MAKING OUR MARK

Voted 2008 Readers’ Choice Best Health Care Facility of Rockingham County.

Because of FCRC, patients are afforded a safety net that provides life sustaining medications, chronic disease management, annual Pap examinations, and treatment for a myriad of health issues such as an ear infection or an abscessed tooth.

Keeping this targeted population healthy and employed so that they can support their families and contribute to their local communities results in a ripple effect of economic benefit throughout Rockingham County.
