UVA Health Honors National Doctors’ Day with a $10,000 Donation to Mother of Mercy Free Medical Clinic

UVA Health has made a donation of $10,000 to the Mother of Mercy Free Medical Clinic in Manassas and Woodbridge in honor of National Doctors’ Day on March 30. The donation is a recognition of the exceptional service provided by physicians to the community and serves as a gift to thank them for their hard work in providing quality care to patients. Erik Shannon, Chief Operating Officer of Community Health, expressed gratitude for the dedicated doctors who serve patients in Prince William and surrounding areas.

The Catholic Charities Mother of Mercy Free Medical Clinic offers a range of services including annual physicals, disease management, prenatal care, health and wellness classes, eye exams, and more. All doctors and nurses working at the clinic volunteer their time to provide free medical care. In addition to these services, the clinic also offers integrated services such as counseling, emergency food assistance, and workforce development.

Alexandra Luevano, director of the clinic, expressed appreciation for UVA Health’s ongoing support and generosity towards the clinic and its patients. The donation reflects UVA Health’s commitment to supporting the mission of the clinic and strengthening its partnership with it in serving the health needs of Prince William County residents. This year’s donation was part of a total $50,000 that UVA Health made across its service area from Charlottesville to Northern Virginia and Culpeper on National Doctor’s Day.
