Located at 215 Roanoke St., Christiansburg’s Free Clinic of the New River Valley is among 26 community health centers in Virginia that will receive grants in April through the American Rescue Plan. The free clinic’s grant is for $1,492,000.
U.S. Senators Mark Warner and Tim Kaine made the announcement of the grants totaling $79,907,625 from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services
“For the past year, our community health centers have been on the front lines of providing care to our most vulnerable communities during the COVID-19 crisis,” said the senators. “Thanks to the congressional passage and eventual signing of the American Rescue Plan, we are now able to provide these critical federal dollars so that our community health centers can continue to provide lifesaving care to the folks who need it the most.”
The Free Clinic of the New River Valley is a non-profit 501(C)(3) organization committed to providing quality healthcare and dental services to people who lack insurance and cannot afford health care. The clinic is accredited through the Virginia Association of Free Clinics.
Among the medical services the clinic offers are primary care, specialty care, diagnostic testing, and hospital services.
