Press Release: FREDERICKSBURG CHRISTIAN HEALTH CENTER EXPANDS THEIR PRIMARY CARE PROGRAM AS THEY WORK TO FILL THE GAPS LEFT BY THE CLOSURE OF THE MOSS FREE CLINIC

FREDERICKSBURG VA- June 25- Fredericksburg Christian Health Center (FCHC) hires a new Nurse Practitioner (NP) to provide care to the former patients of the Lloyd F. Moss Free Clinic following its closure.

FCHC is a 501(c)3 non-profit primary care clinic dedicated to providing high-quality and holistic health care to people in our community who are without insurance or underinsured through Medicare and Medicaid. FCHC has been serving our community since they opened in 2003 and has been able to provide additional services such as Behavioral Health, Nutritional Counseling, and Food Distribution.

Following the closure of the Moss Free Clinic (MFC) on June 12th, 2025, FCHC has been working to ensure former Moss patients still have access to care that is affordable, compassionate, and can accommodate their unique needs. We are excited to announce that Quintina Foster-Jackson, the former NP of Moss, has joined the FCHC team.

“Losing Moss is devastating to our community.” Says FCHC CEO Dr. Theron Stinar, “FCHC and Moss have worked together for over two decades, sharing patients and resources. We (FCHC) always considered Moss as a partner rather than a competitor- we worked together for the same cause to care for the poor in our community. You could combine FCHC and Moss and the other safety net clinics in our area, and you still wouldn’t come close to meeting the need. I am thankful that we were able to hire Quintina and have the capability to care for most of the former Moss patients. It’s a blessing that they can receive care from a provider they know at a location that understands their needs and wants to help. The loss of their Community Pharmacy is especially tragic, as several clinics in Virginia utilized that program to help our uninsured patients. As health insurance premiums become more unaffordable and Medicaid criteria more stringent, I anticipate the number of uninsured patients will continue to rise and we will need increasing community support to care for those who are most vulnerable.”

FCHC’s charity care program serves 1,000 people on average annually and is expecting to add an additional 500 patients from Moss’s closure. As a non-profit clinic, FCHC relies heavily on donations from partners such as Mary Washington Healthcare and the Virginia Healthcare Foundation as well as individual donors to serve their underinsured patients.
