To mark the 56th anniversary of the Medicaid and Medicare programs, Neighborhood Health, a non-profit Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) that serves a predominately low-income and uninsured patient population in Northern Virginia welcomed Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra, Congressman Don Beyer, Administrator for the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) Chiquita Brooks-LaSure, and Virginia Secretary of Health and Human Resources Dr. Daniel Carey to one of its primary care clinics.

Neighborhood Health has administered over 60,000 doses of Covid-19 vaccine! 85% have been to people of color and 79% to uninsured patients.

Dr. Corry Chapman, a long-time Neighborhood Health family medicine doctor, had a new patient—an uninsured middle- aged woman who had contracted Hepatitis C from a blood transfusion.
