A LEGACY OF CREATING HEALTH, HEALING, AND HOPE

Our organization was founded in 1979 as the Free Clinic of the New River Valley. We are now a Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC), known as the Community Health Center of the New River Valley. We are an IRS 501(c)(3) private nonprofit community-based organization. We are governed by a local 12-person patient-majority Board of Directors who are volunteers. We have four clinical sites: A main full-time year-round clinical and administrative site in Christiansburg, a second full-time clinical site in Pearisburg, a third full-time clinical site in Dublin, and a school-based site within Pulaski County High School. We employ nearly 100 staff members. Each of our three full-time year-round sites provides primary medical care, dental care, mental health care, and substance use treatment services. Our school-based site provides on-site primary medical care and dental care.
