Every Dollar Counts!

Chesapeake Care currently operates out of a 5,000 square foot facility on 3.6 acres of land.  In 2009 we received funding to build an extension that would add 4,000 square feet and double our patient capacity. On April 29th, 2011 we broke ground on Phase I of the expansion, which includes the exterior of the building and it was completed on time this fall. To date we have raised over $600,000.

Phase I – expansion of building – COMPLETED
Phase II- dental equipment required – approx. $80,000
Phase III – renovation of the existing space – approx. $277,000

The total budget for the three phase expansion – $1,200,000.
Total needed to complete the project – $600,000.

Even though we are one of the largest free medical clinics in the
region we need to keep growing because of increasing demand. Every dollar counts.

The need for access to basic healthcare is great in Chesapeake and Hampton Roads. Chesapeake Care Free Clinic is a non-profit organization committed to helping adults who do not fit within the guidelines of Medicaid, Medicare or traditional insurance. Last year alone we  scheduled more than 9,500 appointments for patients.

Established in 1992 by Dr. Juan Montero, II, Chesapeake Care Free Clinic operates through a combination of grants, state and local funding, and business and individual donations.

Our network of medical, specialist, dental and administrative volunteers, along with our medical partners, help us stretch every donated dollar to over $9.32. Last year our operating budget of $900,000 provided $7.5 million in healthcare services for almost 1,800 people.

Even though we are one of the largest free medical clinics in the region we need to keep growing because of increasing demand. We need your help. Please donate or volunteer.
