The Gloucester Mathews Care Clinic was recognized by statewide nonprofit Rx Partnership for its role in providing patients with free prescription medication to support their improved health.

The clinic is able to provide low-income, uninsured patients with medication to treat a variety of chronic conditions like diabetes and hypertension because of its connection with Rx Partnership. For more than 20 years, GMCC has worked with Rx Partnership to ensure that patients have the critical medication needed to maintain and improve their health, regardless of their ability to pay.

“Filling prescriptions can be costly and without the support of the clinic and Rx Partnership, we know many patients would go without essential medications,” said Amy Yarcich, Executive Director of Rx Partnership. “By making prescriptions available quickly and affordably, the clinic serves as an essential safety net for vulnerable patients.”

“Because of our connection with Rx Partnership, we can make sure patients take medication as directed because they don’t have to worry about the cost. They can receive all the medications they need to manage chronic conditions and improve their health,” said GMCC Executive Director Arlene Armentor.

GMCC received its certificate of recognition from Rx Partnership during the recent Virginia Association of Free & Charitable Clinic’s annual conference in Roanoke.

Founded in 1998, GMCC provides high quality, low-to-no cost comprehensive health care for uninsured and underinsured area residents. The clinic offers lab services to the public as well in partnership with Labcorp. Patient services include primary care, dental, behavioral health, food assistance, medication counseling, and more.
