Volunteers founded Culmore Clinic, located in Fall

Volunteers founded Culmore Clinic, located in Falls Church, in 2007 and to this day it is still significantly volunteer run. Volunteers, like Astrid who serves as an interpreter, enable Culmore Clinic to provide high-quality, culturally-sensitive healthcare at little to no cost to their uninsured patients. Astrid came to Culmore Clinic nine years ago as a volunteer interested in interpreting. A fluent Spanish speaker, Astrid was trained in medical interpreting by the clinic’s Interpreter Manager and immediately excelled. At one point, Astrid also held an administrative position with the clinic, but when more Spanish interpreters were needed, she returned to her interpreting role and has stayed on as a loyal volunteer throughout the COVID-19 pandemic.

It’s worth noting that interpreters often work more shifts than many other types of volunteers at Culmore Clinic for the simple reason that medically trained interpreters, who are willing to work in a volunteer capacity, are in extremely hard to find. “Culmore Clinic is very lucky to count Astrid as a vital member of our core Interpreting Team,” Caroline Hillkirk, Interpreter Manager.

NOVA ScriptsCentral collaborated with partners lik

NOVA ScriptsCentral collaborated with partners like Direct Relief to get medical supplies and nutritional support to thousands of Afghan refugees at Marine Corps Base Quantico. Executive Director Donney John shared, “Our goal is always to work to serve underrepresented communities. We serve many undocumented individuals and others who are new to the country. This continues the mission and is not anything that’s out of the ordinary for us,” he said. Last year, the charitable pharmacy provided 2,647 people with medications valued at over $3 million and supported other organizations with close to 20,000 pieces of PPE, including 20,450 masks.

Since its opening day in 1993, the Augusta Regional Clinic has provided low-cost, quality healthcare to patients in Augusta, Staunton and Waynesboro. With 20 staff members and eight patient rooms, the clinic can see around 2,400 patients a year, many of them uninsured or on Medicaid. Sophie Parson, executive director at the clinic, says that accessibility is at the heart of who they are. “Our mission is to look for gaps and be there for community members,” says Parson.
