Our Purpose


We exist to expand medical knowledge and access in our community.

Our Partners


In addition to providing its own programs, the MEDRVA Foundation expands medical knowledge and access by working in partnership with others.

Medical Access

Current recipients of support from the MEDRVA Foundation include:

Goochland Cares – Unrestricted operating support to allow the clinic to fulfill its mission of serving the medically underserved.

CrossOver Ministries – Capital and operating support to establish the MEDRVA Vision Clinic at CrossOver Ministries to provide a region-wide vision clinic for CrossOver’s 6,000 patients as well as referrals from all area safety-net service providers.
