Inova Loudoun Donates $100,000 to Free Clinic

Loudoun Inova Hospital recently donated $100,000 to the Loudoun Free Clinic in Leesburg.

The clinic has operated since 2002 under the Catoctin Foundation, providing medical care to Loudoun residents, more than 11 percent of whom are uninsured, according to Erin Smith, board chair of the Loudoun Free Clinic.

She said patient visits had nearly doubled from 2009 to 2010, and in the first six months of this year the clinic received more than 2,400 patient visits.

We stretch each dollar donated and estimate that the Free Clinic provides a service value to the community of more than $7 for each dollar donated,” she said.

“As a non-profit organization we are very pleased to partner with the non-profit Loudoun Free Clinic to support access to quality health care for disadvantaged residents of Loudoun County,” said Randy Kelley, CEO of Inova Loudoun Hospital.

The clinic is located in Inova Loudoun Hospital’s Cornwall campus in downtown Leesburg, and in addition to that donation of space, the cash donation will assist the clinic with operating costs.
