Strengthening
the Safety Net
Access to Healthcare
Everyone deserves access to quality healthcare. Here’s how we help.
Operating Support
Health safety net providers deliver essential care to the uninsured, underinsured and other vulnerable populations who otherwise could not access it. Core safety net providers include emergency rooms, free and charitable clinics, local health departments, Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs), community health centers and other providers that deliver care to a significant number of uninsured and underinsured patients. A safety net that coordinates effectively with community-based wraparound services is more effective at ensuring long-term positive health outcomes for its patient population.
The purpose of this funding opportunity is to support the provision of direct health care services to the uninsured, underinsured and medically underserved by providing core operating support to organizations working with these target populations.

SignUpNow is a resource for community-based organizations dedicated to helping individuals and families enroll in and benefit from Virginia’s Medicaid/FAMIS programs. The Obici Healthcare Foundation is pleased to partner with the Virginia Health Care Foundation to offer a local SignUpNow training workshop for community workers. The workshop will teach the “ins and outs” of the eligibility requirements, application procedures and post-enrollment information for Virginia’s Medicaid and FAMIS programs.
