III. Presentation by Community Organization Charlottesville Free Clinic BACKGROUND: The Charlottesville Free Clinic (CFC) is a nonprofit, 501(c)(3) founded in 1992 by Dr. Mohan Nadkarni and Dr. Paul DeMarco during their residencies at UVA Hospital to provide a health support system that offers high-quality and compassionate care to the low-income uninsured in our community who would otherwise not have access to care and would suffer needlessly from many routine and preventable medical conditions. They offer free medical care, dental care, and medications for low-income and uninsured adults between the ages of 19-64 and their families in and around Charlottesville. Out of the 60 free clinics in Virginia in 2011, the CFC is one of only 15 to receive accreditation from the Virginia Association of Free Clinics. Mrs. Erika Viccellio Mrs. Viccellio has been the Executive Director of the Charlottesville Free Clinic for more than 10 years. In 2012, she received the Excellence in Nonprofit Leadership Award from the United Way. Under her leadership, the Clinic created a Community Dental Program to help clients gain access to a network of community dentists that, along with its on-site clinic, provides more than 3,700 visits per year. In addition, the CFC launched the Physician s Partner Network in 2009, matching clients to community physicians for care provided in their private offices, successfully lowering wait times for new patients. Mrs. Viccellio received her M.Ed. from the Curry School of Education in 1998. 3
