Access Now, a 501(c)3 organization, is a community partnership, improving the health of thousands throughout the Richmond area by providing access to specialty care for the eligible uninsured. Access Now links the primary care patients receive in safety net clinics to more advanced specialty care. Access Now’s 900+ physician volunteers ensure that no patient goes without specialty care for want of a willing provider. Care Coordinators match patient needs to specialty volunteers, work intimately with patients as they navigate the healthcare system, provide translation services when needed, secure appointments, and ensure the successful transfer of medical records. Over 2,000 appointments with specialists are secured annually for patients referred by participating safety net clinics to Access Now. Gov. Bob McDonnell receives a check for $7 million from Gigi deBlois, MD, President of the Richmond Academy of Medicine, to represent the combined value of physician volunteers' free specialty care services donated since Access Now began in 2008.
