Giles Free Clinic

Mission Statement

The Giles Free Clinic is a satellite clinic of the Free Clinic of the New River Valley that is commited to providing valuable healthcare services to all uninsured, low-income adult residents of Giles County. The Giles Free Clinic's intent is to expand access to healthcare for Giles residents who otherwise might have difficulty traveling to Christiansburg to receive medical, dental, pharmacy and mental health care services.

About the Giles Free Clinic

The Giles Free Clinic was founded in October, 2007, with a U.S. Health Resources and Services Administration Rural Health Outreach Grant. When it opened, the Giles Clinic was only open 20 hours a week with part-time practitioners. Since then, the Giles Clinic has expanded to 32 hours of patient care per week serving 1,100 patients from Giles and Bland Counties and some West Virginia residents, providing over 13,000 visits. The care is provided thanks to many local volunteer medical practitioners and the free services provided by Carilion Giles Community Hospital.

On May 13, 2011, the Giles Free Clinic was awarded a second HRSA grant totaling $481,130 over three years to create G-Net, a rural health network. G-Net will integrate and expand access to primary and specialty healthcare services for the people of Giles County. The target population will increase to include underserved children by broadening the scope of available services in the County to include health navigation, and by facilitating the addition of critical transportation services and cultural training of health professionals.
