The Virginia Health Care Foundation (VHCF) is a public/private partnership established in 1992 by the Virginia General Assembly and its Joint Commission on Health Care. Its mission is to enhance access to primary health care, including oral and behavioral health services, for uninsured and medically underserved populations in Virginia.

Join VHCF in celebrating The Women's Center (TWC) as one of our newest Health Access grantees with a $77,000 investment to help grow behavioral health access in Northern Virginia. This initiative builds on TWC’s proven success in combining clinical excellence with strategic workforce development. With the support of a previous VHCF grant, TWC transitioned from a model of solely part-time clinicians to include full-time licensed and pre-licensed staff, increasing continuity of care and opening new recruitment pathways. Now, TWC is expanding that momentum by hiring three new pre-licensed clinicians, recruited directly from its respected internship program. These new residents and supervisees will benefit from free supervision, in-service training, and ongoing professional development, supporting both their path to licensure and the region’s long-term behavioral health capacity. We’re excited to support this forward-thinking organization as it continues to expand access to behavioral health services in its community. https://www.vhcf.org/2025/07/16/the-virginia-health-care-foundation-has-awarded-814167-in-grants-to-13-nonprofit-organizations-throughout-virginia-to-increase-access-to-behavioral-health-medical-and-dental-care-for-uni/ (fb)
Congratulations to The Daily Planet Health Services, one of VHCF’s newest Health Access grantees! DPHS is known for providing compassionate, high-quality care, tailored to meet the unique needs of Richmond’s most vulnerable residents. In response to overwhelming demand and extended wait times for dental and primary care, DPHS recently completed a major capital expansion - the new East Cary Street Health Center. To support this important expansion, VHCF is awarding a $120,000 capital grant to equip two new dental operatories. This investment will not only enhance access but also helps DPHS reduce its renovation loan and ongoing operating expenses. We're proud to continue to partner with DPHS as it continues to deliver on its mission to expand access to care across Richmond.
