Catholic Charities Opens Free Medical Clinic In Woodbridge

WOODBRIDGE, VA — The Catholic Charities Mother of Mercy Free Medical Clinic opened a second location Monday in Woodbridge to operate entirely by telemedicine during the coronavirus crisis. Catholic Charities’ first clinic, in Manassas, opened two years ago.

The Woodbridge clinic will serve the health care needs of the underinsured and uninsured, regardless of faith, throughout all of Prince William County. Catholic Charities said it decided to expand to a second location at the request of the Prince William Area Free Medical Clinic.

“The need for free, high quality health care in our diocese is great. With this second clinic, Catholic Charities will be able to provide excellent care to serve the most vulnerable adults who come from all of Prince William County,” Art Bennett, president and CEO of Catholic Charities, said Monday in a statement.

The Mother of Mercy Free Medical Clinic will provide appointments for annual physicals, disease management, sick visits, prenatal care, health classes, and referral to medical services, including referrals to other Catholic Charities services. The clinic will expand to offer GYN care, emergency appointments, advance illness care, dental and vision care once social distancing guidelines are eased.

Catholic Charities Mother of Mercy Free Medical Clinic is located at 13900 Church Hill Drive in Woodbridge. The new clinic, like the one in Manassas, will rely primarily on volunteer medical professionals and other volunteers to staff the clinic. It will have one full-time nurse and one part-time front office staff member.

Alexandra Luevano, program manager of the Mother of Mercy Clinic in Manassas, will also direct the Woodbridge office. Medical professionals or other individuals interested in volunteering at the clinic should contact Alexandra at 703-335-2779 ext. 15 or alexandra.luevano@ccda.net.
