Throughout the United States, people give their time and talents to serve those in need in their communities.  In Free and Charitable Clinics, Charitable Pharmacies, state associations and NAFC partner organizations across the country, medical and non-medical staff and volunteers work tirelessly to provide accessible, affordable health care to medically underserved people.

A year ago, Hurricane Harvey swept through the Houston area and devastated communities.  The NAFC and Direct Relief teamed up to provide relief grants to Charitable Clinics that were in affected communities to support continued recovery efforts, to recoup expenses and/or reinforce emergency preparedness efforts related to the hurricanes which allows for the continuity of crucial life-saving care to those most vulnerable in their communities.

The National Association of Free & Charitable Clinics (NAFC) is thrilled to share that we have once again received a 4-star rating from Charity Navigator.  Their coveted 4-star rating demonstrates strong financial health and commitment to accountability and transparency.

The NAFC wishes you a Happy New Year! As we are look forward to what's to come in 2018, and toward working to build a healthy America, one person at a time, we first wanted to take a look back at 2017! 2017 was a very busy and eventful year for the country, for our members and for the NAFC. Below is a high-level overview of some of the accomplishments of the organization from the past year:
