7 PRACTICES THAT STRENGTHEN FREE AND CHARITABLE CLINICS
Free and charitable clinics operate in one of the most challenging parts of the healthcare system. Limited funding, workforce constraints, and growing demand are the norm, not the exception.
And yet, some clinics consistently adapt, demonstrate impact, and stay strong over time.
Research across associations points to seven core practices that high-performing, future-ready organizations share. When translated into the free and charitable clinic context, these practices offer a practical lens for strengthening clinics and the statewide network.
Read the full article to explore how these practices show up in free and charitable clinics and how FAFCC supports this work across Florida.
