About Us Who We Are
Building healthy communities for all through quality, equitable, accessible healthcare.
Everyday, people throughout America struggle with choosing between paying for food and a place to live or going to the doctor and getting their needed medications. Free and Charitable Clinics and Pharmacies are on the frontlines making sure access to healthcare is not just a dream, but a reality.
A just society that ensures a healthy life and well-being for all.
Access to affordable healthcare is a crucial part of public health. At the NAFC, we believe that access to healthcare should be a right, not a privilege. We value human dignity and access to quality, compassionate and equitable healthcare.
Building a Healthy America, One Person at a Time.
