A Healthier You
IS YOUR WEIGHT A PROBLEM?
A healthy weight is imperative to your overall health. Statistics show being overweight is linked to many other conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, sleep apnea and coronary artery disease. This WeightAware risk assessment takes about 5 minutes to complete and will:
- Assess your current health status and identify those medical or lifestyle conditions that may lead to development of the disease
- Connect you with resources to take action to reduce your level of risk regardless of your insurance status

Knowing your risk profile will enable you to take control of your health and provide you with the best defense against obesity-related disorders. The key to achieving and maintaining a healthy weight isn’t about short-term dietary changes. It’s about a lifestyle that includes healthy eating, regular physical activity, and balancing the number of calories you consume with the number of calories your body uses in consultation with a medical provider.

HIGH QUALITY, PATIENT-CENTERED CARE
There is a myth that free and charitable clinics deliver substandard care. Nothing could be further from the truth. We take great pride in delivering the highest quality care to patients in need. In fact, we believe in taking a holistic approach and in treating the whole person, including their medical, social, and wellness needs. Many of our clinics in Virginia have been designated Patient Centered Medical Homes, a distinction that is only given to practices that offer the highest quality patient care. Learn more about our services.
Our qualified, licensed provider volunteers strive to deliver the best care possible to all those in need. They take the time to really listen to a patient’s story and medical history and then offer treatment solutions that go beyond the body.
Whether via telehealth or in person, our team of volunteers are dedicated to providing patients with a solid medical home base and a pathway to better health. We aim to build an ongoing relationship as your care provider. Our model of care puts the patients at the forefront of care. We focus on taking the time necessary to build better relationships between the patient and the care team. This leads to a better patient experience and improved health outcomes.

“A lot of the patients I see think of the free clinic as a place they can look to for all of their care.”
