The Mission
Culmore Clinic is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit healthcare clinic providing low-income adults in the Bailey’s Crossroads community with quality medical care at little to no cost. With the support of dedicated volunteers, healthcare providers, and generous donors, the clinic offers compassionate, respectful care, including medical services, specialty referrals, and counseling.
Culmore Clinic's commitment to inclusive, high-quality care is reflected in our exceptional medical interpretation services, ensuring effective treatment for the diverse community we serve. Founded by volunteers in 2007, the clinic remains largely volunteer-run, allowing us to dedicate more resources directly to patient care.
The Need
Access to healthcare continues to be a crisis. According to a 2017 study, 57% of Bailey’s Crossroads, VA are uninsured. Barriers to accessing medical care are legion. Affordability, and language barriers are just a few examples. Dedicated individuals and congregations thought something should be done. In 2007, they opened Culmore Clinic.
A Note on Interfaith
Culmore Clinic is built on the commitment of people with different faiths and denominations. We were started by two Catholic women who started talking to neighboring congregations about a staggering rate of uninsured adults in the area.
What resulted was a health clinic that opened in a mosque, moved to a county facility, then with the help of the Anglicans, moved to a Baptist church, and then to the Disciples of Christ congregation where it operates today with the support of sixteen different Christian, Jewish and Muslim congregations.
Every day we celebrate our diversity and embrace our similar values. At Culmore Clinic we do not just welcome those of different faiths, we understand that we would not be who we are without them.
