Sinclair Health Clinic

What Sinclair Health Clinic does

Sinclair Health Clinic is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit charitable clinic founded in 1986 in Winchester, Virginia, that delivers primary care, prenatal care, reproductive health, mental health, and community health services to uninsured and Medicaid-covered residents of the Northern Shenandoah Valley. The clinic also operates an onsite pharmacy open to the general public, dispensing $0-$5 generics through the Rx Partnership pipeline alongside over-the-counter medications, medical supplies, and prescription eyeglasses. Patient demand has doubled since 2020, with more than 3,000 patients served and 38,729 prescriptions filled in 2025, supported by a bilingual enrollment team and a zero-maternal-mortality track record for full-term prenatal patients since March 2020.

The technology stack is intentionally lean: clinical operations run on the third-party Athena Health Patient Portal for scheduling, prescription refills, secure messaging, and health record access, and the clinic coordinates with Rx Partnership and Winchester Medical Center hospitalists for medication access and labor and delivery referrals. The organization has no proprietary software or AI capabilities and instead relies on a deeply embedded network of more than a dozen core partners, including Valley Health (donating hundreds of thousands of dollars annually in lab and imaging services), Shenandoah University, United Way, Direct Relief, VAFCC, Virginia Health Care Foundation, and HRSA.

Revenue is generated through a hybrid nonprofit model combining state funding distributed via the Virginia Association of Free and Charitable Clinics, Medicaid reimbursements, foundation grants (notably from the Virginia Health Care Foundation), individual donations, pharmacy transaction revenue, and federal Congressionally Directed Spending. Patient fees are heavily subsidized — a $5 suggested donation per visit and an annual registration fee of $0-$75 based on income, with no one turned away for inability to pay. The clinic is currently executing a $5.6M capital campaign to purchase and renovate an 11,000-square-foot permanent facility at 20 S. Stewart Street, opening Fall 2026, to replace the leased 7,200-square-foot Our Health campus space it has occupied since 2003.
