Diocesan Catholic Charities Mother of Mercy Free Medical Clinics earned the 2025 Gold Rating from the National Association of Free and Charitable Clinics Quality Standards Program for the sixth consecutive year.
The rating attests that the clinics operate in accord with high standards of health and safety policies and procedures and have demonstrated a commitment to providing quality care to patients, ensuring the medically underserved have access to affordable health care.
Catholic Charities operates clinics in Manassas and Woodbridge. Currently 22 volunteer providers offer care, including primary care physicians as well as oncology, optometry, physical therapy, neurology, gynecology, obstetrics, podiatry, dietetics, orthopedics and endocrinology. Since the clinics first opened, some 48 medical professional volunteers have provided care.
In 2024 the clinics provided free medical care — valued at $2.8 million — to 1,711 adult patients. Mother of Mercy continues to seek medical volunteers, as the number of patients requiring free medical care increases. By March 31, the clinics had already seen 1,733 patients.
“This gold rating is another demonstration of our commitment to providing high-quality health care to low-income women and men who live in our communities — thanks to the expertise and compassion of our volunteer medical professionals,” said Alexandra Luevano, clinic director. “They are dedicated to delivering high quality care within the communities we serve.”
