About Us
Access Partnership is a community collaboration of medical providers, charities, universities, churches, civic groups, free clinics, community health centers, departments of health, city community service boards and social services departments, and a broad representation of volunteers and medically indigent consumers. The Partnership is focused on strengthening the depth and breadth of existing programs, implementing new services for identified gaps in primary care and chronic illness prevention; and coordinating care for medically indigent families. Access Partnership is dedicated to bringing health care to all residents of Greater Hampton Roads so that anyone in need of care will not have to go without.
