“The NAFC is thankful for the support of BD and Direct Relief who recognize the importance of supporting organizations that are dedicated to providing affordable, accessible health care in communities throughout the country,” says NAFC Chief Executive Officer Nicole Lamoureux said. “This funding will allow our organizations to continue their important work in providing health care to the medically underserved and help build a healthy America, one person at a time.”

This is the inaugural year of funding for the Innovation and Continuity in Care Grant Program. With over 220 applications for this first year, the continued need for support of Free and Charitable Clinics and Charitable Pharmacies is evident, making the decision process difficult.
