Valuing our staff and volunteers.

We serve individuals between the ages of 19 and 64 with no medical insurance who live at or below 200% of the federal poverty level. Patients must be residents of the cities of Franklin and Suffolk and the counties of Isle of Wight and Southampton. First we determine that a potential patient meets our eligibility requirements and then an appointment is made with our volunteer professional medical staff.

Western Tidewater Free Clinic is a not-for-profit organization and needs broad-based community support for long-term viability. Volunteers and Donations are critical to helping those who need it the most. Whatever your time, talents or financial situation, you can make a commitment to this Clinic and those it serves.
