About the Pulaski Free Clinic

Our Mission is to provide quality healthcare to uninsured adults and those with Medicaid in Pulaski County, Virginia.

​

The Pulaski Free Clinic was founded more than 40 years ago by community leaders who believed that everyone has the right to health care.

Today, the clinic provides primary medical care to low-income adult residents of Pulaski County who do not receive health insurance benefits in the workplace, who cannot afford private insurance, as well as those covered by Medicaid.

 

The Pulaski Free Clinic is a nonprofit 501c3 charitable organization.
