Culmore Clinic

What Culmore Clinic does

Culmore Clinic (legally Bailey's Crossroads Health Access Partnership Inc.) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit free clinic founded in 2007 and headquartered at 3245 Glen Carlyn Road, Falls Church, VA. It provides free primary medical care, diagnostic testing, health counseling, mental health services, and specialty care referrals to uninsured adults in the Bailey's Crossroads community, where over half of residents lack insurance. The clinic operates three days per week from space hosted at First Christian Church of Falls Church, supported by approximately 1-10 paid staff and 130+ volunteers who deliver roughly 86% of operations. Its technology footprint is limited to an Electronic Medical Record system with an integrated produce-referral workflow linking patients to the Friday Fresh Food Pop-Up Market (launched 2025 in partnership with Arcadia Farm and funded by CareFirst BlueCross BlueShield); additional programs include the 'Turning the Curve' diabetes education curriculum and a hybrid telemedicine model adopted during COVID-19.

The clinic's go-to-market is community-led: patients are enrolled by referral through word-of-mouth, faith-based partners (Dar Al Hijrah Islamic Center, St. Mary's Episcopal Church, Church of Jesus Christ and Latter-Day Saints), healthcare partners (NOVA ScriptsCentral for $5/90-day prescriptions, Neighborhood Health), and academic partners hosting PA and nursing clinical rotations (Marymount, GWU, Shenandoah). Pricing is zero-cost to the patient. Revenue is derived entirely from individual donations (e.g., $72,000 raised at the 2026 Bubbles on Barcroft annual fundraiser), foundation grants (CareFirst, Community Foundation for Northern Virginia, Arlington County Medical Society, local churches), and government support channeled via the Virginia Association of Free Charitable Clinics and CARES Act funding during the pandemic. There is no commercial product revenue, no investor ownership, and no disclosed financial statements beyond the organization's publicly available Form 990.

Culmore Clinic is governed by a volunteer Board of Directors and has gone through three leadership transitions at the Executive Director level since founding (Terry O'Hara Lavoie as co-founder and interim leader, Anne-Lise Quinn from February 2020, and Lynette Sappe-Watkins from March 2023). It received a 2024 Gold Rating from the National Association of Free and Charitable Clinics and was named 'One of the Best Nonprofits' by Spur Local; co-founder Terry O'Hara Lavoie received the 2022 SOAR Good Samaritan Award. The organization is currently navigating a March 2026 interim relocation while continuing to serve more than 1,000 active patients, with 65% of patients retained 3-4 years and 90% requiring English interpretation services.
