The Catholic Charities Mother of Mercy Free Medical Clinic opened its second location Monday in Woodbridge. The clinic will operate entirely on telemedicine during the pandemic.
“The new clinic is a powerful, visible witness to the Gospel of Life. Health care professionals volunteer their time as a labor of love and deliver life-giving, compassionate care to vulnerable men and women in our communities,” said Bishop Michael F. Burbidge, Diocese of Arlington. “I am so pleased that the clinic is able to expand its reach, especially as the nation is experiencing the current public health emergency and access to standard health care services is limited. This is particularly important for those already experiencing hardship.”
Catholic Charities decided to expand to a second location given the need throughout the community and following a request by the Prince William Area Free Medical Clinic to stand up operations to replace their efforts.
“The Prince William clinic’s board of directors decided earlier this year to close the 27-year-old clinic in early April due to ongoing “financial and resource challenges” and asked Catholic Charities if it would expand to Woodbridge,” Catholic Diocese of Arlington spokeswoman Amber Roseboom.
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, advanced illness care, dental, and vision care once social distancing guidelines are eased.
Catholic Charities Mother of Mercy Free Medical Clinic, Woodbridge, is located at 13900 Church Hill Drive, near the Prince William County Senior Center.
As in Manassas, the new clinic 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, BSN, RN, Program Manager, 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 [email protected].
Catholic Charities’ first clinic, in Manassas, the site of a former abortion clinic, opened just over two years ago and provided care for 761 patients at 2,466 visits in FY 2019. The Woodbridge clinic will allow Catholic Charities to serve the healthcare needs of the underinsured and uninsured, regardless of faith, throughout Prince William County.
