A testament to our founders’ commitment to ensuring accessible, high-quality medical care for everyone in our community, Virginia Hospital Center provides an average of more than $40 million in community benefit support each year. Virginia Hospital Center Pediatrics (VHC Pediatrics) and Outpatient Clinic are just two of the key ways we serve those most in need, and much of VHC Pediatrics and the Clinic’s services are significantly funded through generous donor support.
Virginia Hospital Center Pediatrics
Virginia Hospital Center Pediatrics first opened its doors in 2001 as a community benefit program of Virginia Hospital Center. VHC Pediatrics, now recognized as a highest level Patient-Centered Medical Home by the National Committee on Quality Assurance, provides high quality primary, preventative, and mental healthcare services to more than 3,000 children of low-income and uninsured families living in Arlington County*.
Located in a convenient, accessible location in South Arlington, VHC Pediatrics features a full-time staff including pediatricians, nurse practitioners, nurses, nutritionists, care coordinators, and behavioral health professionals.
Nearly 40% of the VHC Pediatrics annual operating budget is funded through charitable giving. Supporting VHC Pediatrics impacts the health of our community by ensuring children in need have access to culturally-sensitive, affordable, quality healthcare, regardless of a family’s ability to pay. The Foundation and VHC Pediatrics recognizes that the effects of poverty are far-reaching and often extend past the need for medical care. Because of this, in additional to financial support, VHC Pediatrics relies on generous in-kind donations to help our patients and their families throughout the year.
