The Free Clinic of Culpeper was recognized by statewide nonprofit Rx Partnership for its role in providing its patients with free prescription medication to support their health. The clinic is able to provide low-income, uninsured patients with medication to treat a variety of chronic conditions like diabetes and hypertension because of the connection with Rx Partnership. This partnership ensures that patients have the critical medication needed to maintain and improve their health, without having to worry about the cost of medication.

“Filling prescriptions can be costly and without the support of the clinic and Rx Partnership, we know many patients would go without essential medications,” said Amy Yarcich, Executive Director of Rx Partnership. “By making prescriptions available quickly and affordably, the clinic serves as an essential safety net for vulnerable patients.”

The clinic has been an Rx Partnership partner since 2005. As part of this partnership, more than 28,000 prescriptions have been provided to more than 2,000 Free Clinic of Culpeper patients. The value of the dispensed medications is nearly $7,000,000.

The Free Clinic of Culpeper received its certificate of recognition from Rx Partnership during the Virginia Association of Free & Charitable Clinic’s annual conference in Williamsburg.

Culpeper Free Clinic director Tammy LaGraffe said, “We are very grateful for all the support Rx Partnership gives our clinic; this support enables us to access medications to help keep our patients healthy and out of the hospital. The support that Rx Partnership provides to our clinic saves our patients thousands of dollars in medication and results in patients being able to take medication as directed – they can see real improvement in their health because of Rx Partnership.”
